Paprika is a popular spice known for its vibrant color and rich flavor. It is made from dried and ground Capsicum annuum peppers, which are commonly known as chili peppers or bell peppers. The specific type of pepper used to make paprika can vary, resulting in different varieties of paprika with distinct flavors and heat levels.


You may think of the famous Sriracha as a hot sauce (and it’s definitely used as one), but technically it’s a chili sauce by name on its own label (“Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce”.) It’s not like Tabasco or other dasher-ready hot sauces. It’s thicker, with hints of sugar and garlic. This is a sauce that can fit many chili sauce use cases in recipes.
Q: Is crushed red pepper the same as red pepper flakes? A: Yes, crushed red pepper is often referred to as red pepper flakes, as it consists of dried and crushed red chili peppers.
Chili peppers, also known as chile peppers, are the fruits of plants from the genus Capsicum. These peppers are widely used in cooking to add heat, flavor, and color to a variety of dishes. There are many different varieties of chili peppers, each with its own unique characteristics in terms of heat level, flavor, and appearance.
Bell peppers definitely have a less spicy flavor and heat level than the peppers used to make hot paprika. But I have tried bell pepper powder in many of my recipes, and it worked just fine.
In summary, chili peppers are the fruits of plants from the Capsicum genus that contain capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat.
One thing that you might need to pay attention to is how hot red pepper flakes are. Unlike paprika, you can't find mild, medium, and hot varieties of crushed red pepper flakes.

Introduction
In contrast, bell pepper is a vegetable that comes in a variety of colors such as green, red, yellow, and orange. It has a sweet and slightly tangy flavor, and a crunchy texture. Bell peppers are commonly used in salads, stir-fries, and as a stuffing for dishes such as peppers stuffed with rice or meat. While they may look similar to paprika, they are not interchangeable in recipes due to their different taste and texture.
