Another worthy replacement for smoked paprika is ancho chili powder. It’s made from dried and ground ancho chiles. This pepper is more common in Mexican cooking but found its way into the United States by way of Tex Mex cuisine. They offer mild to medium heat that only ranges from 1,000 to 1,500 SHU. It has a deep, smoky and slightly sweet flavor. For this reason, you don’t have to worry as much when using this as a replacement as it won’t overpower your dish as easily compared to chipotle powder. To use as an effective backup, you can incorporate exactly how much a recipe calls for smoked paprika.

Therefore, after curcumin is ingested in the body, it is difficult for the gastrointestinal tract to absorb, metabolize and quickly remove from the body. Consuming curcumin in foods rich in lecithin, such as eggs, vegetable oil, and buttermilk, may help increase its absorption through the gut.
