First off, capsaicin affects every animal species besides birds. These feathered friends don't experience the pain caused by capsaicin, which makes them the plants´ greatest ally in carrying seeds over long distances. This is a great example of evolution; it just makes sense to produce a compound that repels potential predators but does not affect your greatest seed carriers.

Potential Allergic Reactions and Therapeutic Uses

Consider a Blend

What Is Chili Powder (Er, Chile Powder..?)

If you wonder whether you can substitute one for the other, the answer is yes. You would use a lot less red chili powder, even if it is of the milder variety, than you would paprika. In fact, the best way to go about this is add it slowly and in small amounts, till you get the heat factor that you want. In a pinch, you can use paprika instead of red chili powder as well, though you may not get the color that you want and the flavor may be different.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Pimiento is a type of sweet pepper that is often used to make paprika. It has a mild and sweet flavor and is commonly used in Spanish cuisine, where it is used to flavor dishes such as pimento cheese, stuffed peppers, and tapas.
