There are several key factors that consumers look for when purchasing organic turmeric powder. One of the most important considerations is the organic certification of the product. This ensures that the turmeric powder has been grown and processed without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or other harmful chemicals.

Paprika is typically sold in powdered form, so it doesn’t have a specific size or shape. Bell peppers, on the other hand, can vary in size and shape depending on the variety. Some bell peppers are large and bell-shaped, while others are smaller and more elongated.

Preheat the oven to the lowest setting, around 140°F (60°C). Cut the peppers in half and take out the seeds. Lay the halved peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Remember to leave the oven door slightly open to allow moisture to escape. Let the peppers dry in the oven for a few hours, checking them often to make sure they’re completely dry and crispy. The drying time depends on the size and thickness of the peppers. With patience and attention, you’ll have perfectly dried peppers.

Paprika is a spice made from dried red peppers that are ground into a powder. Depending on what type of paprika it is, it'll be made from a different variety of red pepper. It has a sweet, pungent, earthy, and somewhat fruity flavor, and varying levels of heat, ranging from the most common very-mild type to the less popular pretty-hot. Good paprika should have a pronounced aroma that you'll notice when you take a whiff from the jar, and it needs to be thrown out after six months as it will lose its potency over time.
