Product Description
220 ASTA paprika powder: our highest listed color
220 ASTA is the top of our standard sweet paprika range. It gives the deepest red of any grade we list, at 60–80 mesh and 10% max moisture.
Because so much color sits in each kilogram, 220 ASTA is bought where a small dose has to deliver a strong red, or where paprika replaces part of another coloring ingredient.
