spices

Like chili pepper and cayenne pepper, paprika is also a type of pepper that belongs to the same family. Paprika spice is a ground version of this pepper that is greatly featured in the Spanish, South American, and Hungarian cuisine.

This spice has complex undertones but mostly consists of a smoky flavor coupled with a mildly sweet and earthy taste. Paprika peppers are native to the New World and have originated from Central Mexico. They were then introduced to Spain in the 16th century after which the paprika spice began to be popularly used in a variety of dishes, mainly for its flavor and the deep reddish-orange color.

It is often used as a seasoning in soups, stews, rice dishes and many other dishes. In the United States, this spice is usually sprinkled on foods as a garnish; however, the best way to get the maximum flavor out of it is by heating it in oil.

Eating chili will not harm you or your baby.

But it may exacerbate pregnancy problems such as heartburn and nausea.
