As a paprika supplier, How to guarantee the quality

Because there is so much variation within the species, The American Spice Trade Association (ASTA) came up with a special categorization system for paprika. The ASTA creates a number for paprika to quantify its color pigment. The number indicates the spice’s vibrancy, a product of its carotenoid content. A high ASTA number signifies a bright, crimson red color, while a low ASTA number signifies a duller yellow/orange-red color.
