About Capsicum powder

Capsicum powder is a dried, ground pepper product, usually made from the fruits of culinary peppers. It is a fine powder whose colour may range from pale red to deep red; flavour and pungency vary with the pepper used and with whether seeds and inner tissues are included.

It is used to season foods and may be sold as a single-pepper powder or as a named style with additional processing. Since the record gives no variety or style, it should not be assumed to mean paprika, chilli powder or another more specific product.
