Its taste is moderately or quite hot with fruity undertones, making it compatible with many national cuisines.

It contains many nutrients, including vitamins A, B, C, and E, potassium, and manganese. It improves heart health, promotes weight loss, enhances digestion, and boosts the immune system.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PEPPER AND PAPRIKA

• Pepper comes from a plant in South Asia, while paprika comes from the pepper plant (Capsicum annuum) native to Central America.
• Pepper has a hot taste due to piperine, while paprika has its heat from capsaicin.
