Where does Paprika come from?

Most commercial paprika comes from Spain, South America, California and Hungary.

Although Hungary is a highly regarded source, Spain produces more than half of the paprika imported into the United States.

I never knew where Paprika came from and I think that it is very good for children to know this.

Paprika is a true capsicum commonly found in powdered form, made by grinding dried, aromatic, sweet red peppers, usually the Tomato pepper. Most commercial brands come from Spain, South America, California, and Hungary.

at first i was afraid of things like paprika. i thought exotic spices only came from africa, but now i find this kind of spice is found in spain and i was wrong, i feel surprise im sure my fear will soon subside.
so now it's back , upon my shelf, i thought the turmeric looked lonely sitting there all by itself, i read the label on the jar to see where it was from but asda said the country of origin numbered more than one. go now go, into my pan add both your colour and your flavour to the sauce around my lamb. a little salt a little oil and then ill put tomatoes in, ill use fresh ones not those weird ones that you get inside a tin.
oh no not i, i like the spice, and to do paprika justice fresh ingredients ill slice, fresh tomatoes free range chicken a little garlic for my dish, ive got some mustard seeds ill need to use i wonder if they go with fish .

it took all the strength i had i did some research too, i went on google and i asked it for advice about my stew. i learned that not only was i wrong to initially be afraid, but that peppers that i like are the things of which its made. i learned for goulash it's essential i learned the origin of the word , a diminutive version of the bosnian/croatian/montenegrin papar so i heard
