OG Spice Guy, Jonathan Raju, breaks down two things happening in the spice world right now.

First: organic paprika. Pesticide detection issues continue to cause headaches for suppliers and are starting to affect pricing and availability. We’ll explain what’s going on (what drones have to do with it) and why the organic paprika market has been so unstable lately.

Then we tackle one of the biggest spice mix-ups out there: Mediterranean oregano vs Mexican oregano. They share a name, but they’re actually completely different plants with different flavors and best uses.

If you buy spices, cook professionally, or just like understanding the ingredient supply chain, this spice market update is for you.
