Other forms of paprika offered by Naturaplaza:

Besides organic paprika powder, we offer other paprika products that are a godsend in various dishes.

  • For instance, we sell sweet pepper flakes, which can be easily stored and taken with you (on holiday), making them an excellent substitute for fresh sweet pepper pieces.
  • And of the flakes, there is also a slightly finer variant. Sweet pepper granules.

Both types are coarser than sweet pepper powder, but on the other hand, they also retain their flavour longer.
