Paprika

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A small bowl of hot smoked Spanish paprika

Paprika is a spice made from the grinding of dried sweet red bell peppers. The word comes from a Turkish word meaning "pepper". In many non-English speaking European countries, the word paprika also refers to bell peppers themselves. The seasoning is used in many cuisines to add color and flavor to cooked foods.
