Video still doesn’t actually answer the question. For anyone wondering paprika can be made from various types of peppers. Sweet/Hungarian paprika is made from various sweet red peppers, most commonly the tomato pepper. Hot/Spanish paprika is made from various Chili’s, including cayenne, or a combination of chili Le and sweet peppers. Some hot paprika can be extremely hot, it just depends on the chili’s, and the amount used.
@kimberlycarrigan8824 I think Capsicum annuum is much too broad for that. ---- "Capsicum annuum is the most economically important of the species in the Capsicum genus. Its common forms include bell, poblano, cayenne, pimiento (including those used to make paprika), jalapeño, serrano, and various other chili peppers"
@Limrasson: "is just another word for pepper." Is "capsicum annum" a pepper? According to google paprika comes from the fruit ripened pods of the nightshade family, dried and ground.
My cousin brought back a commercially packed container of paprika from Hungary for me as a gift from her travels. That one container was the tastiest, freshest batch I have ever tasted in my life. The stuff we finally get from the stores in the US are so old and stale that they can be counted on for a visual enhancement but little more. As any spice or flavoring, the closer you get to the source in time and location, the better.
Where I live in Spain, paprika is produced (using three different pepper varieties). People here buy it fresh each year at around this time of the year.
Try getting yours from an Eastern European deli. You'll know it's the right place if it sells paprika in big bags and marjoram in pouches 😁. Try the pastry and sausages. They're delicious.
Sounds like the best way to experience the true flavor of paprika (other than visiting Hungary) would be to grow it ourselves. Hope soil conditions don't cause a problem. 😂😂😂

Of course Hungarians don't use the anglicised pronunciation (I live 1h away)😉.

You have to understand, British audience can't be bothered with original pronunciation details outside of our linguistic horizons, especially about food stuff. That's why for the last couple of centuries we made sure you all had to learn our language".
Yeah. I used to put paprika on deviled eggs but never tasted it until I married a Hungarian. We don't put it in everything, but the things we DO put it in, you can definitely taste it. I haven't bought or tasted paprika from an American store since I met my wife. It's not just for color.
I live in Colorado, U.S. and I use a fair amount of paprika. I use it in Chili, Enchilada Sauce, BBQ dry rub, BBQ sauce. And when I don't feel like wood smoking outside, I will use some smoked paprika in certain dishes. Yes, for me, cuisine is better because of the existence of paprika.
3 weeks into and only 400 views , this needs to be viewed like 1M in a month. Everyone eats paprika but no one knows exactly what's being eaten. This is a great information on paprika.
My parents are Polish and in Polish a pepper is called a 'papryka' so I obviously have always known it was from some part of a pepper. Although I wasn't sure what part of it.
You can see no one is wearing masks or taking social distancing measures. This could’ve been shot before the pandemic started. That or no one gives a crap.
Excellent VLog! first time I have ever watched how "Paprika" is grown/picked/sorted, and it's a daily "masala" in all my food processings and curry making, without it there's absolutely no flavor in my everyday cooking. thanks
And in Mexico there are soooo many types for dried pepers and they make powder out of many of them! They are delicious! I have 6 or 8 in my kitchen and I live in Europe. Mexican food is fantastic!

I wanted to make my own taco seasoning blend for beef instead of using a blend from the store. When I added a generous amount of Hungarian paprika to the mix, it brought the flavor to a whole new delicious level.
anthroariel - LOL! Thank you very much for the tip. I will add that to my shopping list. The canister I currently have is a smoked version, but not sweet.
Factual error at 3:30. Paprika is /not/ a type of pepper. Paprika is a process blend of several different types of peppers. Usually sweet peppers but you add/mix hot peppers (chilies) per your preference.
We were able to visit the Hungarian market a number of years ago. We loved all of the colours and spice options and ended up coming home with a lot of paprika.
The region best known for Paprika is called “kalocsa” so of you search for quality hungarian kalocsa paprika or in hungarian “kalocsai”, you’ll do fine.
Shouldn't you feel satisfaction in information that helps educate others? Most people just consume whatever is sold to them and don't even read labels.

I literally did a Google on "what is paprika made from" 1:44 into the video and saved myself watching the whole thing, it was pretty much what I thought it was.
Very similar to the way Red Chile is made. We do not use the ground Chile as a condiment however - but it does make it more convenient to store. Ground Paprika can be mixed with other strains to blend a certain flavor - hot or sweet.
That’s exactly the case in Hungary too, hence you saw the raw “paste” also earlier. The powder was i guess originally simply a way of storing the harvest to last through the year.
The point is peppers did not originate from the new world. Now the sweet red pepper they use for paprika might appear to be a hybrid or modified pepper.
It is a variety of chile powder. A vast array of chile flavor exists among the ripened red chiles. 1. New Mexico ground red chile. Anaheim/California red chile. 2. Cayenne ground red chile. 3. Guajillo ground red chile. 4. Chile de Arbol red chile. 5. Thai/ Bird's eye red chile. 6. Fresno red chile. 7. Calabrian chile. 8. Jalapenos can be left on the vine until ripened to red chile. It is what is used in Sriracha and Chipotle. 9. Cascabel chile 10. Red habanero chile 11. Trinidad Red chile 12. Tabasco Red chile 13. A multitude of others. Once you get past the heat, the variety of red chile peppers have their own unique flavors.
Doesn’t help when you google paprika and only imagines of bell peppers and peppers that resemble banana peppers load. Also, here in the states, paprika containers have pictures of bell peppers on them. I always thought paprika was just a word for powdered pepper.
I burst out laughing at 'But why is my paprika at home spicy?' - what kind of paprika (available in the UK) are you talking about?! Its the most lightweight thing imaginable here

@@s.leemccauley7302 that's really not the point. The brits didn't know what plant it was at all never mind the cultivar where as in most languages its obvious
I visited that market in Budapest. Many paprika vendors and many varieties, also. And I visited a farm in South Hungary. I’m guessing there are many. A great spice that I use in my cooking and seasoning
Chile is Aztec word, peppers are native to the Americas. That were introduced to the rest of the world after the conquistadors came to Mexico. And they can be hat like the habanero or sweet like the tomato paprika pepper.
The flavor is likely better because it hasn't spent much time interacting with the air. Ground spices found in supermarkets can be stocked months in advance, so that by the time you get to use it, some of the flavor has been lost. Buying from the bill section does cut down on this problem, but what she was experiencing was a fresh variety of Paprika, with it's full flavor profile range still intact.
I was once visiting a friend who made food with much more delicious paprika than I'd ever had before. It was Szeged, imported from Hungary but I've found it's available in most supermarkets. It cost more but it's worth it and I've bought it ever since. Maybe any Hungarian import might be better than run of the mill, but Szeged is the one Hungarian import I can usually find.
My grandmother was from Lithuania born in 1890. She made a dish that my mother would replicate called Cinnamon Chicken. Just brown pieces of chicken in a skillet add a sliced onion and cover with water and loads of equal parts, I think about a couple teaspoons of each?, cinnamon and PAPRIKA. Season with salt cover cook till tender. Put the gravy over bread and serve. So yummy. Thank you about where Paprika is from, and the family farm was fun to see.
@@seanbailey8545 It's not Paprika until AFTER the drying and grinding, and ALL paprika goes through that process. The only time that matters is the time between the finishing of the product and when it gets to your food.
@@legionaireb Are there true heirloom paprika peppers that are more favorable? I have had some paprika that is totally mind blowing over others. Been a cook all my life.
@@rdrdrd7777 It’s more than likely dependent on the growing conditions of the pepper plant. I’ve had paprika plants that yielded all sweet peppers with one or two with just a slightly detectable hint of heat which has to do with how much water the plant gets. The slow drying in the sun will also develop and deepen the flavors.
@@rdrdrd7777 Try Leutschauer Paprika peppers that originally come from Leutschau (Slovakia) and now comes from Matrafured Hungary (since the 1800's). I got my seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds (RareSeeds.com.) Good luck.

although some cheap brands could use filler or anti-caking agents, the decreased flavor of store bought is due to age, as the oils can break down. It's why pepper grinders have surpassed pre-ground pepper and many high end spice companies sell whole spices. It's why if you watch chefs like chef job on food wishes he commonly jokes that if you don't use fresh ground nutmeg, you can't be his friend.
We grind every whole spice by mortar and pestle at the instance. The flavour is more pronounced. No branded spices can match these freshly ground spice at home.
@@LinA-it9vd why? Its available in local spice market in many variants. Those who know traditional cooking do not buy readymade and branded spices. Using traditional mortar pestle or this tool shown in the video (we call it sillota). Can make huge difference in flavour and colour of the food. Even today south Indians make paprika paste the same way as shown here.
@@LinA-it9vd We even use whole red paprika for tempering. So whole and powdered both are used in indian households. Thats why India is known as country of spices.

Of course Hungarians don't use the anglicised pronunciation (I live 1h away)😉. I am 99% the sure British tv team had to go through the same heated discussion before every single shot Hungarians where forced to pronounce the "I":
"Please, we need you to pronounce it the "wrong way! You have to understand, British audience can't be bothered with original pronunciation details outside of our linguistic horizons, especially about food stuff. That's why for the last couple of centuries we made sure you all had to learn our language".
I got addicted to Paprika from my travels in Hungary and now put it on everything.
They need a series about the hot Hungarian paprika farmer.
I thought I was the only one thinking that same thing...as soon as I saw him I wasnt even paying attention to what the video was about anymore...lol
😍😋🙃
I wish I was 40 years younger and on my way to Hungary.
They need to tell us the brand name it sells under.
He is very good looking. I didn't see a wife either. I kinda noticed a spark in her eyes when she saw him.
Yeah. I used to put paprika on deviled eggs but never tasted it until I married a Hungarian. We don't put it in everything, but the things we DO put it in, you can definitely taste it. I haven't bought or tasted paprika from an American store since I met my wife. It's not just for color.
I want that paprika! Thank you, it looks so very fresh and good. I can just taste it by watching this show. WOW!
I live in Colorado, U.S. and I use a fair amount of paprika. I use it in Chili, Enchilada Sauce, BBQ dry rub, BBQ sauce. And when I don't feel like wood smoking outside, I will use some smoked paprika in certain dishes. Yes, for me, cuisine is better because of the existence of paprika.
Yeah, even up in FtC (where mayo is considered a spice) you can find paprika as a fairly common spice when out and about.
3 weeks into and only 400 views , this needs to be viewed like 1M in a month. Everyone eats paprika but no one knows exactly what's being eaten. This is a great information on paprika.

I didn’t initially understand the question. In my native German „Paprika“ is simply the word for bell peppers...
My parents are Polish and in Polish a pepper is called a 'papryka' so I obviously have always known it was from some part of a pepper. Although I wasn't sure what part of it.
COVID aside, she actually dipped her spitty finger into the paprika meant for human consumption. What is paprika? Powdered red peppers and Brit spit.

Excellent VLog! first time I have ever watched how "Paprika" is grown/picked/sorted, and it's a daily "masala" in all my food processings and curry making, without it there's absolutely no flavor in my everyday cooking. thanks
Paprika originally came from Mexico 🇲🇽 and was introduced to Europe by the Spanish.
And in Mexico there are soooo many types for dried pepers and they make powder out of many of them! They are delicious! I have 6 or 8 in my kitchen and I live in Europe. Mexican food is fantastic!
A lot of Mexican foods were introduced to every corner of the world: Tomatos, peppers (chiles), chocolate, Corn, beans, papaya, avocado...to name a few. Some nations have based their entire cuisine culture on these staples.
@@FOTOJADAMOstudio vanilla too came from Mexico
@@FOTOJADAMOstudio Part of (a long list of reasons) that I don't understand intolerance towards latinx peoples is that literally the entire world eats their culture's foods all the time. I mean CORN CHIPS ffs. For being a small percentage of the global population, their cuisine covers massive quantities of the world. French and Italian cuisine are the only others that immediately come to mind in regards to disproportionate population vs. cuisine spread

I wanted to make my own taco seasoning blend for beef instead of using a blend from the store. When I added a generous amount of Hungarian paprika to the mix, it brought the flavor to a whole new delicious level.
@Heather Poulson: try the Hungarian Sweet Smoked Paprika. I can't seem to leave it out of foods except maybe my Cheerios...

@@Aquascape_Dreaming and butterflies pooped on the peppers too.
Factual error at 3:30. Paprika is /not/ a type of pepper. Paprika is a process blend of several different types of peppers. Usually sweet peppers but you add/mix hot peppers (chilies) per your preference.
We were able to visit the Hungarian market a number of years ago. We loved all of the colours and spice options and ended up coming home with a lot of paprika.
In Sweden, - a ”paprika” is a bell pepper.
xD
Paprika is different kinds of bell pepper that are dried. Save you 6 mins of your life
A shot of the paprika container from that farm would have been helpful to make a purchase.
BBC for u but go online
The region best known for Paprika is called “kalocsa” so of you search for quality hungarian kalocsa paprika or in hungarian “kalocsai”, you’ll do fine.
As a hungarian watching the fact that this video exists physically hurts
What's wrong with it
@@Guitar-Dog it's so evident that paprika is grounded pepper.
Shouldn't you feel satisfaction in information that helps educate others? Most people just consume whatever is sold to them and don't even read labels.
In Finnish sweet pepper is called paprika like the spice so I'm waiting for some big revelation that paprika is made from fermented fish or something.
😂 I know what u mean.
I was absolutely astonished when she licked her finger and dipped into the scoop . Anyway, the market was so incredible. Would love to go there.
Thats what im saying!!! nobody is talking about it!
He actually licked his finger as well and dipped it in, they cut it out a bit, but you can see him licking his finger as well as if he just been doing the same thing....take a closer look....
Paprika simply means "bell pepper" in German and the Scandinavian languages. So we've never wondered about what it contains.
same in Hungary actually
Belgium aswell :3 at least dutch side
Except.....it is not made from bell peppers. Now we know that.
Yeah.
Was looking for this comment.
I actually searched for this video after getting addicted to paprika
I literally did a Google on "what is paprika made from" 1:44 into the video and saved myself watching the whole thing, it was pretty much what I thought it was.
@@JB-wq6yi exactly. Entire TV show and investigative travel over nothing
Greetings from another addict.
Me too. We may have to start a Paprika anonymous web site.
1:56 GFI...yeah I already did 🤣🤣🤣
Very similar to the way Red Chile is made. We do not use the ground Chile as a condiment however - but it does make it more convenient to store. Ground Paprika can be mixed with other strains to blend a certain flavor - hot or sweet.
That’s exactly the case in Hungary too, hence you saw the raw “paste” also earlier. The powder was i guess originally simply a way of storing the harvest to last through the year.
peter picked a peck of pickled paprikas

Fascinating! I've always loved Paprika. Now, I know why.
so you're telling me that there are people that they don't know where does paprika come from?
i didn't! :)
Yes
There's people that don't even know what paprika is
Well, I know paprikas are the ground up peppers, but I thought they were chilis until this video.
Do you know where paprika comes from?
I didn’t realize that paprika came from a specific “paprika” pepper.
In English the word paprika is for the spice only, made from a type of chili pepper. In other languages, it refers to the plant, fruit and spice.
whodathunk eh.

NOT

I grew Leutschauer paprika last year, only a couple of plants. This year I plan for a complete row.
Food Unwrapped, thanks for the training!
Wow, I'm shocked. here in indonesia, Paprika means "bell pepper"
same species

I learned something today! Thank you
Paprika is a ground spice made from dried red fruits of sweeter varieties of the plant Capsicum annuum. It's chili powder.
Peppers and chiles originated from Mexico and Central America.
No. A variety of said ... grown for sweetness not hotness
The point is peppers did not originate from the new world. Now the sweet red pepper they use for paprika might appear to be a hybrid or modified pepper.
Correction. I meant to say the old world. Thank you
It is a variety of chile powder. A vast array of chile flavor exists among the ripened red chiles.
1. New Mexico ground red chile. Anaheim/California red chile.
2. Cayenne ground red chile.
3. Guajillo ground red chile.
4. Chile de Arbol red chile.
5. Thai/ Bird's eye red chile.
6. Fresno red chile.
7. Calabrian chile.
8. Jalapenos can be left on the vine until ripened to red chile. It is what is used in Sriracha and Chipotle.
9. Cascabel chile
10. Red habanero chile
11. Trinidad Red chile
12. Tabasco Red chile
13. A multitude of others.
Once you get past the heat, the variety of red chile peppers have their own unique flavors.
Everyone: "How do you not know what Paprika is, it's in the word"?
English people: "Huh?!"
No, they don't want to guess. And , In English the name would have "pep" for pepper, not Pap. And, they probably know, but it's a tutorial.
anglicization(?) is a joke
Doesn’t help when you google paprika and only imagines of bell peppers and peppers that resemble banana peppers load. Also, here in the states, paprika containers have pictures of bell peppers on them. I always thought paprika was just a word for powdered pepper.
Peppers originated in South America, don’t even give me that 😂
This was so informative and interesting to watch thank you so much!
This channel could have dropped the brand for this awesome and industrious family...
Did you miss the part where they said paprika is really popular in their country? It's literally a home-based small-scale operation.
This is very much like how we make chilli powder. Thanks for sharing
I burst out laughing at 'But why is my paprika at home spicy?' - what kind of paprika (available in the UK) are you talking about?! Its the most lightweight thing imaginable here
Thank you! It has never tasted spicy nor sweet, to me. Not that cheap crap from the supermarket, anyways. 😁

I visited that market in Budapest. Many paprika vendors and many varieties, also.
And I visited a farm in South Hungary. I’m guessing there are many.
A great spice that I use in my cooking and seasoning
Chile is Aztec word, peppers are native to the Americas. That were introduced to the rest of the world after the conquistadors came to Mexico. And they can be hat like the habanero or sweet like the tomato paprika pepper.
🙄😑
Kas ?
I do love my habanero hats. Helps protect from the sunlight.
The flavor is likely better because it hasn't spent much time interacting with the air.
Ground spices found in supermarkets can be stocked months in advance, so that by the time you get to use it, some of the flavor has been lost.
Buying from the bill section does cut down on this problem, but what she was experiencing was a fresh variety of Paprika, with it's full flavor profile range still intact.
I knew paprika was a pepper, but I couldn't figure-out why
it had no heat.
This video answered my questions.
Thank you
Paprika is my favorite spice and I'm glad I stumbled onto this video
I was once visiting a friend who made food with much more delicious paprika than I'd ever had before. It was Szeged, imported from Hungary but I've found it's available in most supermarkets. It cost more but it's worth it and I've bought it ever since. Maybe any Hungarian import might be better than run of the mill, but Szeged is the one Hungarian import I can usually find.
Good to know, thx
Szeged is the major paprika-producing region in Hungary, if you look for any "szegedi" brand you will probably not be disappointed.
My grandmother was from Lithuania born in 1890. She made a dish that my mother would replicate called Cinnamon Chicken. Just brown pieces of chicken in a skillet add a sliced onion and cover with water and loads of equal parts, I think about a couple teaspoons of each?, cinnamon and PAPRIKA. Season with salt cover cook till tender. Put the gravy over bread and serve. So yummy. Thank you about where Paprika is from, and the family farm was fun to see.

"Why is this so flavorful?"
Maaaaybeeeee...because it's 3 minutes old as opposed to three months.
But they dry it for 4-5 weeks so....not exactly 3 days old.
@@seanbailey8545 It's not Paprika until AFTER the drying and grinding, and ALL paprika goes through that process. The only time that matters is the time between the finishing of the product and when it gets to your food.
@@legionaireb Are there true heirloom paprika peppers that are more favorable? I have had some paprika that is totally mind blowing over others. Been a cook all my life.
@@rdrdrd7777 It’s more than likely dependent on the growing conditions of the pepper plant. I’ve had paprika plants that yielded all sweet peppers with one or two with just a slightly detectable hint of heat which has to do with how much water the plant gets. The slow drying in the sun will also develop and deepen the flavors.
@@rdrdrd7777 Try Leutschauer Paprika peppers that originally come from Leutschau (Slovakia) and now comes from Matrafured Hungary (since the 1800's). I got my seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds (RareSeeds.com.) Good luck.
I accidentally spilled all the paprika as a kid, cleaned it up, and cut half of the cayenne pepper in there to hide it. THAT was some spicy paprika.
"Cut half" lmaooo
Capsicum annuum, a variety of pepper similar to chili and jalapeño. Sweeter, milder (can go from sweet to very hot depending).
I was lucky enough to have bought Hungarian paprika last year & it turned my cooking around. The junk we get at local stores with no taste is unacceptable to me now.
It's a type of red sweet pepper.
Not necessarily. It is and can be made from a variety of types from sweet to very hot.

I used to think that paprika was salt and pepper mixed because on Blues Clues, Salt and Pepper's kid was Paprika.
although some cheap brands could use filler or anti-caking agents, the decreased flavor of store bought is due to age, as the oils can break down. It's why pepper grinders have surpassed pre-ground pepper and many high end spice companies sell whole spices. It's why if you watch chefs like chef job on food wishes he commonly jokes that if you don't use fresh ground nutmeg, you can't be his friend.
Very good point. Thank you. 👍
We grind every whole spice by mortar and pestle at the instance. The flavour is more pronounced. No branded spices can match these freshly ground spice at home.
@@Dave_enYou won’t be bringing paprika at home.
@@LinA-it9vd why? Its available in local spice market in many variants. Those who know traditional cooking do not buy readymade and branded spices. Using traditional mortar pestle or this tool shown in the video (we call it sillota). Can make huge difference in flavour and colour of the food. Even today south Indians make paprika paste the same way as shown here.
@@LinA-it9vd We even use whole red paprika for tempering. So whole and powdered both are used in indian households. Thats why India is known as country of spices.
