No, but I'd like to. I don't grow enough chillies *yet*

this might be useful: Paprika pepper powder - Harvest Forum - GardenWeb

interesting link T.S...thanks

This is my second "serious" year at growing so looking to try a few different things.

Is'nt Paprika made from peppers rather than chillies though?
There's a surprising lack of info about it.

Chillies are a 'type' of capsicum, so are peppers. Paprika does have the same habit of 'fading' in storage as chilli powder does (which is why until my chilli growing efforts work out I use tabasco rather than chilli powder).

No, and it's not made from one single pepper variety either. Have a look here: Paprika - Food Facts - Food Reference

I have sown Kostadinov chillies this year, seed bought from Real Seeds. The blurb said that it was for making paprika pepper, that's why I got it.
Are there other chillies used to make paprika, does anyone know? I also assumed that one dried the chillies and then powdered them, not having to chop them up first and then dehydrate them. Haven't got a dehydrator anyway!

So has anybody managed to find a source for Kalosca pepper seeds?

I bought some peppers from Lidl this year and when I looked on the back, it was in other languages too and where mine said 'sweet pepper' in the other languages it said 'paprika'. So I assumed that paprika was just Spanish or something for what we call peppers. Not sure how good of an assumption that is!
