"OK, my friends..."

[@voodookitchenmama]

Smoked paprica is my favorite. I put that on just about everything.

[@B30pt87]

Lovely! Thank you so much. I love smoked paprika, and I totally agree- nutrient rich soil is the key to delicious food and spices. I also love the idea of keeping them whole until you're ready to use them. Freshly ground spices taste infinitely better, and once you've used them fresh the idea of using stale spices just won't cut it.

[@iamwendyiam]

I'm buying a dehydrator this week and going to fire up the smoker soon. I'm ready to try this now that my peppers are ripe. Thanks Nate!

[@tarafied7322]

Glad this video came along when it did. Paprika/chili powder is one of the things I am looking to up my game in this year. I normally grow poblanos, but I've added pasilla and mirasol peppers this year too. I'm looking for a more complex, mid-heat powder this year. I had planned on smoked and plain dried chiles, but I hadn't thought about the smoked onions and garlic to add in. I am nearly out of smoked onions from last year so I'm planning on doing more this summer, and I haven't smoked and dried garlic before, so I'm looking forward to that. Thanks for the ideas!

Hey Nate! I'm still going to grow potatoes but my long term goal is to grow peanuts as my staple crop. Much healthier (boiled) and the shells can be used as a replacement for coconut coir.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

actually you can't get much healthier than potatoes my friend they are truly amazing especially when grown in nutrient rich soil bursting with life!!!... peanuts are also good but never could they replace potatoes IMHO

[@Jdngls]

Well, I think I got a new project.

[@hogue3666]

Awesome video! Thanks. Is there a traditional smoke for smoked paprika? I know that chipotle is traditionally jalapenos under mesquite smoke. It's probably worth experimenting with both spices. FYI I did a batch of chipotle a few years back with legitimate hot jalapenos. The heat carries over and it's a few tsp to a batch of chili. Vent the room when you grind this stuff. :)

[@gardenlikeaviking]

yes my friend I've done the homemade chipotle and its so blazing hot I can hardly use much!!!... I am not certain about the traditional smoke but I do know for me the best flavor by far is from oak wood smoke

[@christybauer7424]

Freeze drying? Would it do just as well?

[@hogue3666]

Also, I never put much though into it, but I wonder where we draw our lines with paprika vs chipotle vs chili powder. We have expectations but I don't have any idea what peppers are in chili powder.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

paprika is typically any of the Hungarian Wax pepper types that have gone fully ripe... chipotle is the smoked jalapeño pepper when its been allowed to age fully to red... chili powder can be so many things!

[@saintmaxmedia2423]

So the reds(cornado del toros?) weren’t smoked? Just the poblanos? Could I use bell peppers? I generally grow hotter peppers like jalapeños, for chipotle, but I want to try something different. I’m making hot sauce, but paprika sounds interesting. And store bought sucks. Or is too expensive(for me) for good quality.

any kind of pepper can be smoked and dried and it will be amazing... I like particular ones due to the thickness of the skin and subtle sweetness of the flesh.. the ones that made the best paprika were the Ajvarski peppers from baker creek seeds... amazing!!

Surprised to see the pablano scored so high, I'll have to give them a try. I was surprised that smoking the peppers could be achieved so easily. I always thought it'd be harder.

[@gardenlikeaviking]

its so easy but the key is to use big chunks of wood not the little wood chips... and oak is the most intense flavor of smoke IME

[@BryanHice-sr8gc]

I’ve made smoked paprika for years. Love it! My main variety is Ferenc Tender. My technique is the same, smoke for a few hours then dehydrate to a crisp. If you grind a bunch it will keep its flavor in the freezer. That way you don’t have to grind so often.

[@timtyndall4025]

Have you considered, or tried, vacuum sealing? Just an idea.
