"<p>Our organic paprika is made from the dried, ground, ripened fruit pods of less pungent varieties of the \"Capsicum annum\" species. It is mildly flavored and prized for its brilliant red color. It is closely related to red pepper which also derives from the \"Capsicum annum\" species.</p>\n<p>\"Capsicum annum\" species are indigenous to Central Mexico and have been in cultivation for centuries. Christopher Columbus \"discovered\" paprika in 1493 and brought a ship laden with spices from the Americas back to Europe. Paprika was introduced in Spain in the 16th century, and the Jeronimos monks at the Yuste Monastery in southwestern Spain started producing it for local consumption. The trade in paprika expanded from the Iberian Peninsula to Africa and Asia, and ultimately reached Central Europe through the Balkans, then under Ottoman rule, which explains the Hungarian origin of the English word \"paprika\". In Spanish, paprika is known as \"pimentón\".</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><strong>What are your different kinds of Paprika?</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Organic Paprika Powder:</li>\n<ul><li>This is the most common variety.
