What is sweet paprika?

\n

Paprika is a vegetable but also the name of a spice derived from the sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum). These two vegetables are from the Solonaceae family, just like tomatoes, eggplants... Less pungent than chili powder, sweet paprika has however more taste than the classic paprika. Its aromas are close to those of dried tomatoes.

\n

Bell pepper flowers are white with 6 or 8 petals. Their pollen is irritating

\n

The harvest of the paprika

\n

Paprika is the fruit of Capsicum annuum. It is harvested ripe before being dried. Once dry, it is ground into a fine powder: paprika powder.

\n

In Europe, paprika is increasingly grown in greenhouses.

\n

Did you know? in paprika, it is the seeds that give it a pungent taste. The varieties of paprika (hot or sweet) differ according to whether the fruit, seeds or tail is crushed.

\n

David Vanille\'s choice: I chose to offer you this sweet paprika powder for its exceptional taste qualities. Sprinkled on your dishes, it brings a slightly smoky taste and a moderate spiciness to your recipes.

Differences between sweet and hot paprika

\n

Sweet paprika is made from the flesh of the bell pepper. Hot paprika, on the other hand, is made from the seeds and stems of crushed bell pepper varieties with the addition of a little bit of chili powder ranging from hot to medium hot. It is called in this case: Royal Paprika.

\n

Hungarian paprika is milder than Spanish paprika.

\n

\n

The origins of paprika

\n

Paprika originated in South America. It was mainly found in an area between the southern United States and Mexico. It is an ancient fruit that was already cultivated 7,000 years B.C. Records show that paprika was used as a medicine to treat osteoarthritis and toothaches, but also as a currency of exchange by the Mayan and Aztec civilizations.

\n

Its arrival in Europe follows the Spanish colonization. In Spain, paprika became an essential spice in less than a century, to the point of being confused with pepper.

\n

The sweet species of chillies and peppers will be cultivated from the 17th century in Castile. It is from this period that we will start to make powder to be able to preserve them and consume them all year long.

\n

When it arrived in Hungary, it became themain spice of the traditional Hungarian cuisine. Less expensive than other spices and easy to cultivate, it will dethrone pepper. Today, paprika is the national spice of Hungary.

\n

Paprika today

Paprika is a spice that enjoys a certain protection, especially in Spain where its production is regulated. Paprika from the regions of La Vera in Extremadura and Murcia has the AOC (Appellation d\'Origine Contrôlée) designation.

\n

Did you know? with 14 million tons produced each year, China is the largest producer of peppers. Spain is the fifth largest producer with a little more than one million tons per year.
