How is paprika used? The most popular form of paprika is sweet paprika, meaning it has no heat. This spice is a rich red color, and is used to add sweet and earthy flavor to meals. Common dishes that use paprika range from authentic Hungarian goulash, to chicken paprikash, rice dishes, chili con carne, eggs, soups, and stews.
The second detail is actually a very well known use for capsaicin: natural pest repellent! Once a plant starts growing, things are not rosy and fine all the time. In fact, the growing process is tough and plants have to survive all types of hardships; from extreme weather conditions to natural predators and getting enough nutrients. What if you could erase one of those hardships? Capsaicin is a natural repellent for insects and even fungi, so the fruit is more likely to develop and mature as it should.
For example, bell peppers, which are a type of chili pepper, are known for their sweet flavor and are not spicy at all. On the other end of the spectrum, peppers like the Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion are among the hottest chili peppers in the world, with extremely high levels of capsaicin and intense spiciness.
Sweet paprika is the most common and available type, at least in North American supermarket spice aisles. If a recipe, or a spice bottle, simply says paprika without specifying which kind, it refers to the sweet kind. Sweet paprika has a very mild, sweet flavor and imparts a reddish hue to whatever it's sprinkled on or mixed into.
Capsaicin oleoresin is a concentrated extract obtained from various types of chili peppers, including cayenne, jalapeño, and other hot pepper varieties. It contains the natural compounds found in these peppers, including capsaicin, which is responsible for the characteristic heat and spiciness.
