🌶️ People Apparently Still Don’t Know What Paprika Is Made From

 



Paprika is made by drying and grinding certain types of red peppers into a fine powder. These peppers belong to the species Capsicum annuum, the same plant family that includes bell peppers and chili peppers.

Once the peppers are harvested, they are:

  • Dried
  • Sometimes smoked
  • Ground into a powder
  • The result is the vibrant red spice we know as paprika.
