Paprika red: sweet flavours

Paprika red has its origins in Central America and was introduced to Europe by the Spaniards centuries ago. Although the vegetable was initially only appreciated in Spain and Portugal, and later also in Italy, it has now become a European public favourite. Red paprikas are sweeter than the yellow, orange or green varieties. When does a paprika turn red? It turns red at the end of its ripening process. It slowly but surely loses its bitter taste and green colour. That is why you can perceive a sweet and slightly pungent taste in these red paprikas. The chunks of red paprikas are made from dried paprikas. The seeds are removed during drying. The vegetable is a perfect partner in all kinds of dishes.
