Description
Paprika, also known as sweet pepper, is a red powdered spice obtained from the ripe, dried and ground fruit of the sweet pepper or bell pepper. Originally from South and Central America, it was already cultivated 7,000 years before our era. The Aztecs and Mayans used it as a spice but also as a medicinal plant and as currency. It was introduced into Europe at the start of Spanish colonization.
