Product Description
Paprika powder 60 ASTA: the light-red entry grade
At 60 ASTA, this is the lowest color value in our sweet paprika powder range, which runs from 60 to 220 ASTA. It is milled to 60 or 70 mesh, or to a mesh you specify, and dried to 10% maximum moisture. Heat stays below 500 SHU.
A 60 ASTA powder gives a soft orange-red rather than a deep red. Buyers pick it when paprika is there for mild flavor and a light tint.
