About
Paprika is a spice made from dried and ground red peppers, Capsicum annuum. It is traditionally made from Capsicum annuum varietals in the Longum group, and while it can have varying levels of heat, the peppers used tend to be milder and have thinner flesh than those used to produce chili powder. The milder, sweet paprika is mostly composed of the fruit of the pepper with most of the seeds removed; whereas some seeds and stalks are retained in the peppers used for hotter paprika.
