No magical “paprika plant.”
No secret spice bush.
Just regular red peppers — dried and crushed into that vibrant red powder we all know and love.
And honestly?
The world reacted like they’d been lied to their whole lives.
🤯 Why Were People So Shocked?
Because most of us never really thought about it.
We just assumed:
There was a “paprika tree” somewhere in Hungary
Or that it came from some exotic, rare pepper pod
Or maybe it was synthetic? A lab creation?
But no.
