Paprika is made from the Capsicum pepper ground into a fine powder. One tablespoon provides abundant nutrients, particularly carotenoids, which contain vitamin A. Paprika has carotenoids that give it its deep red color. Lutein and zeaxanthin benefit eyesight by blocking harmful sun rays, while vitamin A enhances night vision.
By consuming just 12 mg of paprika daily, you will achieve better vision. Each tablespoon of paprika contains 2 mg of vitamin E, or 13% of the recommended daily intake for adults, which contributes to healthy blood vessel function and acts as an antioxidant. Adding paprika to your diet will help you take in more iron, which is important for cellular metabolism.
Iron supports the function of hemoglobin and myoglobin, proteins responsible for transporting and storing the oxygen that tissues need to function. One tablespoon of paprika contains 1.4 mg of iron, which is 8% and 18% of the recommended daily intake for women and men, respectively.
