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.
You answered more in 1 paragraph than that whole video “(*_*)”
Ya you did
And how is it made? Is it just ground up dried peppers or is anything added? Are seeds etc removed or mixed in?
Also the fact that chilli peppers and paprika pepper were indigenous to the Americas and brought to Europe and the rest of the world.
Thank you!
Imagine traveling across half the world just to realize that paprika is just another word for pepper.
It's a kind of pepper. Capsicum annuum.
and get paid for it...
@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.
I looked it up. Your right. Here's a good one to look into, "natural flavors" list on thousands of food products.
What are they?
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.
Fortunately we have direct importers of paprika and other herbs/spices so we can get it pretty fresh here
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. 😂😂😂
Seriously? That focus on the"premium", hand-processed product and no plug for the farm or even a note in the description?
That's what sayin. I was looking forward to copin some of their product.
Hungarian here. Go to any Hungarian store in our town and buy it there. Hungarians will not sell inferior product to other Hungarians. We grew up with quality so quality is guaranteed and you will not be disappointed.
@@nandorblue Would love to visit Hungary again and buy some in person but I currently reside in the US. So unless I can find a Hungarian specific store out here or find some online I'm out of luck. Do you know the name of this specific paprika farm?
@@DaFAMOnDeck Try Hungarian stores close where you live. You can also try Eastern European or Polish stores they may have them also. They may have a brand or home made varieties.
@@nandorblue I'll try to find some. Do you know the brand of paprika in this video?
Texan here - I have been dusting eggs, and lots of other things - with paprika all my adult life. Sounds like Hungary is a place I would enjoy visiting.
I know this is old.. But smoked paprika is even better.
Me too, let’s go.
I've been searching shops for Hungarian Paprika for years but it seems they don't export the stuff. All you can buy is inferior Spanish mass produced stuff.
@@wullaballoo2642
Do a search for “Chili Trade Hungarian Paprika” (Chili with and “I”)
I just bought two bags a couple months ago.
@@wullaballoo2642We get it in Canada no problem. Most of it comes from Szeged.
Just search Szeged paprika.
I come from south of Slovakia (shout out to my Hungarian brothers and sisters) and we also make our own, smoked variety too. Drying peppers is not for preserving the color it is to intensify the flavor of the paprika peppers, making it rich and sweeter in taste. Paprika is indeed a spice but as far as I am concerned it by all means should not be hot.
We need seeds to grow it
Wish I had some
And that's why nobody has heard of your paprika.
And the drying process makes it safe for storage, and when ground it will not bind together. Cheers brother from your friendly neighborhood hungarian :D

But real paprika is not spicy
Sweet paprika peppers have their own flavor
Right? “Mine is spicy”, ma’am paprika isn’t chili powder. That’s like saying habanero and bell pepper taste the same because they’re both peppers
She: So this is paprika, it looks like a chili
Him: no its just a paprika
She: then what is paprika
Him: just a pepper
she is clearly not the brightest bulb on the street, ..... then she sticks her salivated finger into the whole bowl......
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
When we say chili is like spicy and pepper is like sweet ;) (Mexico/USA)
@@Renkishat all the powder that touches the saliva sticks to it so there isn’t really any contamination. Even the farmer did it. Now if it was enough saliva to make make a drop... that’s a different story.
@@JYRound The contamination of any product at any level is unacceptable, period. Sticking a salivated finger in the product is without a doubt contaminating the product. The severity of the contamination is another matter, say for example it was a virus, a microscopic virus, not even a drop -as you say- just enough to harm a few dozen people. Would that be acceptable to you ? Of course not. There are better ways to sample a product.
When she licked her finger and then dipped it the scoop of paprika to try it, I could hear the guy thinking "now I have to throw out that whole scoop'" Haha
But, the next shot shows him doing the same thing--at least sticking his finger in his mouth like she did. Tit for Tat. Paprika style!
'Welp, guess this is my chance to give it a try too'
No you don't have to throw it out. Paprika powder behaves like flour, if you lick your finger and dip it in flour the whole batch of flour won't go bad.
Plot twist- she pours scoop back to bowl
@@randolphpinkle4482 maybe he thought, "damn it, you just ruined this whole batch. I guess I'll just humor her and do the same now that it's garbage."
They just licked their fingers and dipped em lol
What vile humans
Okay, so, I'm not the only one that thought she was gross for doing that?! Ugh.
@@noomwa It was a nasty act.
The whole batch is contaminated now. In fact I never gonna buy Hungarian paprika. I know the chance that I get the it form this particular batch is astronomically small but I just can't take the risk.
@@formdusktilldeath for somebody who doesn't know how contamination works or what the dangers of what they did are you seem mighty convinced you're gonna get sick from dried pepper powder
Next: What is garlic powder actually made of.
Twinkies? no no... wait... I got it.
Tomatoes?
Cassava😂😂🔫🔫
90% of usa garlic come from china and is made of chinese human excrements fertilized land
ummm......garlic?
Carrots and cucumbers
Do not store the Paprika next to the Cayenne if you forget your glasses often. Just sat down to the nice dish of CousCous and Veggies. Evidently I used Cayenne in place of the Paprika. And I love hot food. But I wasn’t expecting such a surprise. Lol.
I've made this mistake before as well.
fun fact, cayenne peppers look pretty much like the paprika peppers on the field as well 😂
Ya I did that with chicken once, covered it in what I thought was paprika and had a really nice suprise on my first bite.
We put cumin on our little girl’s oatmeal instead of cinnamon by accident. She was not impressed
@@brianmurphy1000 that actually sounds good
It would have been nice if she provided the information on the family run paprika business so we could source it and purchase really good paprika to enjoy at home.
Exactly!
I was wondering the same thing! I’d like to order from them!
Also would have been nice if she didn’t lick her finger before sticking it in there
@@winterroses2020 SHE GOT NO MANNERS. BUT FORTUNATELY, PAPRIKA KILLS GERMS AND OTHER BACTERIAS DUE TO ITS NATURAL MAGICAL MEDICINAL CAPABILITY ACCORDING TO THE CHINESE.
Even the Hungarians are using the Anglicized pronunciation. It's PA-pri-ka, the accent on the first syllable, like all Hungarian words. And the music is Slavonian played on tamburitza, perhaps by the Hungarian Serbian band Vujicsics. My family are Balkan German-Hungarians, and we buy paprika by the kilo. My mother-in-law said I used more in one meal than she used in her whole life.
@Fred Schumacher I'm English and I always say it with the accent on the first syllable. I don't think the weird version is particularly English.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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".
That crunchy sound when she bites into that pepper is amazing.
In German, the spice is called the same as the vegetable: Paprika.
I didn't know this wasn't the same everywhere and that's why I'm surprised right now that this connection is not so self-evident everywhere in the world.
While as a child, for example, I often only knew coriander or nutmeg as a spice and therefore didn't know exactly what was behind them, paprika was always the spice that made it clear from the name what it was.
It's strange to me to think that millions of people around the world use paprika without knowing what it is.
Paprika wird Paprika gennat, weil es Paprika ist!
Und Paprika ist auch überall das selbe, nur halt aus verschiedenen Paprika.
Not only in Deutch, in all the Slav languages and Hungarian as well. It is only mystery for Americans...which shouldn't surprise you.
Ich habe mich gefragt. Wie so EIN video ueberhaupt existieren kann
Same! I'm so confused by this video. Like, I always thought it was obvious and everybody knew haha
@@cetterusnot that americans can't be ignorant at times, but what do they have to with this vid? the presenters seem to be british. english speakers tend to call paprikas as peppers, so it's not really a surprise they don't recognize a word they don't use.
I'm from Norway, and here "paprika" is what we call bell peppers - in addition to the powdered spice.
in hungary, we call every type of pepper paprika
But that doesn't make sense?
@@zalanfarago9805 But every pepper isn't the same though?
@@r3dhorse nah, there are lots of types of paprikas that differ in shape, size and color
Same in Sweden, too. Paprika = bell pepper. And the spice as well.
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.
Enjoyed seeing the field, the drying, and the decapping. Would love to have seen the mill.
I was wondering what people were talking about tasting the paprika, and then I watched her violate an entire bowl of it... heartbreaking
She claims to be a food expert yet is ignorant of basic food safety and manners.
OMG how many crappy people are going to say this? Watch a different video then, Miss Priss.
Watch it again, it wasn't the bowl, it was the scoop and they never showed where the contents of the scoop ended up. They easily could have dumped it in the trash. The video is edited, so, why get outraged over something that you don't know even happened.
@@mykull666 That was a huge scoop of paprika. Even if it was never served to anyone she wasted it all by her unsanitary practices. She could have used a pinch of it without licking her fingers like a child.
@@rifter0x0000 the area touched could have been discarded and the rest in the scooper recovered
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.
she is the covid superspreader - licks her finger and puts it in every single spice in the world.
XD
XD
I have literally never heard anyone describe Paprika as spicy.
Paprika is not spicy Its flavorful and goes great on a boiled egg or deviled eggs
Thank you, I was going to comment the same thing
Its not spicy at all lol
She's probably thinking about cayenne.
The Brits think beans are spicy....
Complements the Hungarians. That market is beautiful and very clean.
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.
I love that they still do it all the traditional way, That is wonderful!
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...
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.
@@anthroariel ...another question ... where does Cheerio powder come from?
... cheese flavored corn... you wish
She licked her finger then put in the powder ? Unsanitary !
@@charlesclark9627 She could lick my D and I would be smiling all day.
The clue is in the name: “paprika” is Serbian & Hungarian for “pepper”. It is dried & ground pepper
And Dutch
Also Czech
In Lithuania "paprika" is bell pepper or any sweet pepper. But we pronounce the word a bit differently
And Poland
Not exactly a clue for English people who don't speak Serbian or Hungarian...
I want that paprika! Thank you, it looks so very fresh and good. I can just taste it by watching this show. WOW!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
I didn’t initially understand the question. In my native German „Paprika“ is simply the word for bell peppers...
I love that they made a whole segment about how you couldnt get an answer when i just googled it.
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
@@topogigio7031 Latino here. Please don't use 'latinx'. It's an insult to my language. En serio, me mortifica.
If you want a gender neutral term than latin-american or hispanic is acceptable.
Paprika is different kinds of bell pepper that are dried. Save you 6 mins of your life
Only the British would call paprika spicy lmao i legit laughed out loud when i heard that
Yes because it's not paprika but mexican chilli powder!
There are hotter versions.
You probably just know about sweet paprika. There’s also hot paprika.
There is a such thing as spicy paprika. Hello. Foolish to jump to conclusions without knowing what really is. Funny.
😂😂😂😂
My Hungarian side is in pain, my British side is embarrassed.
So glad that here in Slovakia we can get Hungarian Čipőš paprika :) and paprika is made out of paprika :D
You can’t beat the Hungarian paprika 😌🥰
I'm Hungarian + irish
I got addicted to Paprika from my travels in Hungary and now put it on everything.
“It’s breakfast time and look what’s on my eggs... that’s paprIkaaAaaa” Like you didn’t ask for it.
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.
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.
I didn’t even know that I wanted to visit Hungary 🧐 very interesting!
lame
British people: WhAt Is pApriKa MaDe oF?
Europeans: Shaking their heads in disbelief.
i can't believe ppl didn't know what paprika is made of...
It's in the name! Etymology, people! =9[.]9=
Bludy bri ish
So shocking. Turns out, it's made of paprika
Fr
Capsicum annuum, a variety of pepper similar to chili and jalapeño. Sweeter, milder (can go from sweet to very hot depending).
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.
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 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....
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.
Imagine conquering the whole world for spices and then not use any of them
England and their jellied eel
Sounds kinda familiar......
Imagine stealing jokes and acting original about it
Except English people are much more accustomed to spice than almost every other country in Europe. Thanks India. If you gave up on overused jokes and learned something, you would know that.
Unless you were talking about the Dutch... then fair enough.
The only reason I'm here, is because I can't believe there are actual people who really don't know what paprika is made from.
Yes. I was one of those people. I thought it was either synthetic or some powdered , grounded up sticks because it takes like nothing. There, have a laugh at me.
To be fair... I was like: wait... what?...
There's a video that reveals what paprika powder is made of?
Hmmm... that MUST mean that paprika powder isn't made from... well... paprika!
How disappointed I was that paprika powder IS made of paprika... :(
Or bell peppers, as they call it in English.
The only reason I'm here is to tell you, we're watching EXACTLY what YOU watch here at UA-cam....and you're NOT as smart as YOU think you are...

same species
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
How about the name of the guys farm she went to in case you wanna buy that particular paprika 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Michael, I was thinking the same thing.🤔
They sell it it in your local grocery store ...its called Hungarian Paprika and its in a metal can to preserve the flavor!
@@allanvargo4063 Thank you and I know that I’ve been using it for years -as well as the Spanish one but I was interested to know the brand not just the name 80% is usually Hungarian lol but I know your heart was in the right place
@@allanvargo4063 I know what you are referring to, but as a person of Hungarian descent who has visited there many times, that paprika in the can is a far cry from the fresh aromatic product you get in Hungary. The best packaging for imported paprika is a vacuum sealed packet that does not allow light to enter.
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.
4:15 😂 “it’s a giant sock filled with ____” “red sock”
In Sweden, - a ”paprika” is a bell pepper.
xD
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.
Growing up I thought it was like salt, but you used it more often.
My dad is a first-generation Hungarian American; I think that tells you enough
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.
Paprika is my favorite spice and I'm glad I stumbled onto this video
I use a lot of paprika. Just a little can add a lot of yummy flavor without the heat. Boxed mac and cheese with a little sprinkle of paprika on top is delicious and not just boxed m&c again. In soups, roasting chicken. And the color it adds! So pretty! Boosts the flavor factor without salt or fats, too. It smells wonderful! I knew it was a pepper of some sort. Can't believe a chef could think it was made from tomato.
In some areas, it's made from what are called tomato peppers, so that is probably what is being referred to in that region.
Yeah I'm with
@Bbq Mike G - I want to buy this stuff but no idea what to look for or where.
"A shot of the paprika container from that farm would have been helpful to make a purchase"
Would've been nice to see some smoked paprika action.
That’s what i was waiting for but the video just stopped!
I thought the same thing. Recently I’ve tried a Smokey paprika in a recipe and it was very flavorful. Could not locate it at the grocery store. Now I’m obsessed with finding it.
Paprika is the best spice. My family uses it in alot of food. Even on eggs. In Switzerland they use it alot too.
COVID aside, she actually dipped her spitty finger into the paprika meant for human consumption. What is paprika? Powdered red peppers and Brit spit.

This is very much like how we make chilli powder. Thanks for sharing
Fascinating! I've always loved Paprika. Now, I know why.
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.
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.
5:25 The licking of the finger and sticking into the pile of paprika must have been pre-covid 😂
Everyone worried about her licking the tip of her finger never worked at a restaurant.

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.
"Red Sox" that joke went completely over her head but I don't blame her she's English I'm sure she can make a pundit that I couldn't understand lol and would go completely over my head as well but the fact this Hungarian fellow made that joke is pretty cool and it was a really good pun if I say so myself 😂

@@llutac yes it was a joke referring to the American baseball team Boston red Sox
Thanks!
Yeah, and then she called it potpourri. Ugh!

I grew Leutschauer paprika last year, only a couple of plants. This year I plan for a complete row.
Mexico: "You're welcome"
Very enjoyable presentation.
She wonders why her paprika is so spicy.Answer: None given. Reason still a mystery.
PS. And getting her damn filthy finger in there was just nasty.
Try finding out where pinenuts come from. Even the company could not say. Oh well, they are tasty wherever they come from.
@@maryelizabeth6797 They’re inside pine cones.
@@maryelizabeth6797 Pinenuts come from pinecones from Pine tree's. I lived in lake Tahoe and got them as I wanted. Now you know.
@@maryelizabeth6797 :}
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'm currently waiting for my Paprika peppers to redden so I can prune it for winter... Indoors cause it got too cold and I dont wanna pick them green.
English: what is paprika made from?? 🤔
Most other languages: It... It's made from paprika... 😅
Right? 😂
The Hungaruan and the Spanish paprika are ach made from different pepper varieties.
@@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
@@Dewkeeper Most of us do know exactly what paprika is. One small benefit of the lockdowns is more interest in cooking at home.
@@Dewkeeper most brits would probably ask what a curry plant looks like...... :)
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.
Food Unwrapped, thanks for the training!
Just got a call from Ms. Capsicum. She kindly wants to know who YOU are!
peter picked a peck of pickled paprikas
Humpty Dumpty fell down, that’s his hard time...
come on, put another P in there
peter picked a peck of pickled paprika Peppers!
Done!
Lol 😂.
This was so informative and interesting to watch thank you so much!
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.
The paprika farmer is the antithesis of excitement. Monotone one liner replies.
He is a paprika farmer. Not a talkshow host? What did you expect, puns and clever one liners?
He's gorgeous, so he did just fine in my book.
But he's very handsome, so who needs personality?
Bro thats How people talk in Hungary. The hungarian language is monotone. We don’t sing when we talk, and we hate our lives
@Neil Brian I mean that’s the truth :D
I used to think that paprika was salt and pepper mixed because on Blues Clues, Salt and Pepper's kid was Paprika.
Q: Why doesn't the paprika you buy in the stores taste like that?
A: Because it's not harvested two weeks (drying process) before you grind it and eat it.
Because its pricey and we get ripped off selling us chilli powder instead but of course stiff upper lip noll that we dont complain about anything
Hunt around online for high quality hungarian kalocsa sweet paprika. It’s generally available if you search a bit. Just keep it properly and use it fresh. Good quality paprika will keep its flavour for months, that is after all why it is dried and processed in the first place
For me (Swedish), this is kinda like asking "Where does onion powder come from?"... I'm like... Ofc paprika, duh. They sell whole ones at the grocery store and it's as obvious as knowing what an onion is.
I think the english word for what we swedes call paprika is bell pepper. But that pepper they were growing didn’t look like bell pepper.
We don't sell whole paprikas at Wal-Mart or Whole Foods. Where is your store at?
I like it when people lick their fingers and stick it in the paprika before it’s packaged.
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?
She's completely forgotten to tell us how the paprika gets the spice.
It’s probably from the drying
What gives it the heat is cayenne pepper. That’s right, sweet paprika peppers are made spices with cayenne pepper.
Regular paprika powder isn't spicy at all, their food is just bland. The hot paprika powder is made with hot peppers, nothing really special.
This is just the first part of the show. After this she goes to Spain where they add Cayenne pepper to a paprika blend. Notice in this video she tastes pepper raw and powdered and doesn't say it's spicy.
They make the spicy ones from hot pepper.
No need for additional ingredients.
I was almost on the floor laughing during the phone calls. 😂 My husband is Hungarian.
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 😂
