Paprika

Paprika is a spice made from ground, dried fruits of Capsicum annuum, either bell pepper or chili pepper varieties or mixtures thereof. The seasoning is used in many cuisines to add color and flavor to dishes, but it is usually associated with Hungary, and also Greece, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria and Morocco, and also Spain, the latter country having introduced capsicum annuum to the Old World from Southern Mexico. The use of this plant rapidly expanded from Spain throughout Africa and Asia, and ultimately reached Central Europe through the Balkans which were under Ottoman rule, explaining the Slavic origin of the modern English term. In Spanish, Paprika has been known as Pimenton since the 1500s, when it became a typical ingredient of the western region of Extremadura.
