These Foods Don’t Grow The Way We Imagined

Paprika

You’re probably familiar with paprika. In fact, you could probably tell us when you last used paprika in your cooking. It’s a hugely common spice, but some people have absolutely no idea where it comes from. Unlike many other spices, paprika does not come from seeds that are grown on flowers or trees.

Instead, this spice is made from dried and ground-up red peppers. These peppers come from the same family as the bell pepper, which means that you could technically make your own paprika! You know, if you have the time and energy to do so. If not, you can buy it, no problem.
