Paprika is a spice made from the grinding of dried fruits of Capsicum annuum (e.g., bell peppers or chilies). In many European languages, the word paprika refers to bell peppers themselves. The seasoning is also used to add color to many types of dishes.
Paprika can range from mild to hot. Flavors also vary from country to country. Paprika is produced in various places including Hungary, Serbia, Spain, the Netherlands, China, and some regions of the United States.
Origin
The word derives from the Hungarian “paprika”, which came into use in the 18th century. Originally it referred to the pepper pods themselves, but soon it was applied to the ground powder as well. The practice came to the Balkans with Turkish invaders in the 16th century – at that time pepper was widely grown in Hungary and known as “Turkish pepper” (törökbors).
