The pepperoni is a subspecies of the bell pepper
Both the growth of the plant and its fruits are very similar in hot peppers and paprika. In terms of their degree of relationship, this is not surprising either. To be precise, the name paprika is a generic term for a vegetable. The hot pepper is one of many subspecies. Chillies and jalapenos are other varieties of the bell pepper family. Even trained cooks sometimes confuse the individual types. This is mainly due to the fact that every type of vegetable in the paprika genus contains capsaicin, a substance that is responsible for the typical spiciness. Depending on the concentration, the different types of peppers differ, with the hot pepper being one of the milder fruits. The difference between paprika and hot peppers is therefore more culinary than botanical.The subdivision goes even further. The hot peppers also form different types that differ in size, color and taste.
