Taste/flavour: Bell-pepper-like
Wall thickness: Fleshy

Colour: It depends on the variety. My paprika pods ripe from pale yellow, almost white to red.

It can be dried and powdered to obtaind the famous spice. It can also be stuffed and eaten fresh.

PaprikaMemo:
These pods aren't too big, but they have thick walls, crunchy and tasty.

I never knew that paprika (the spice) came from an actual pepper! I m not sure where I thought it was from. I am amazed.

This sounds really good with the camembert though - one of my favorite cheeses.
