                                While commonly added in small amounts for flavor and color, paprika is primarily composed of carbohydrates, with a smaller but significant percentage of lipids (fats) and proteins. This multifaceted nutritional profile, derived from ground dried peppers, makes it more complex than just a simple seasoning.
