Paprika originally comes from Hungary (But was brought to Hungary in the 17th century by the Turks)

But the Turks got it from the Spanish who got it from the South and Central American Indians in the 15th century.

They are a New World plant and food as are the rest of most of the chili or other peppers in the world.

In fact, the Mayans were smoking (as in drying, not inhaling), jalapeños, called chipotle, a Nahuatal Indian word, when Columbus hit the coast line.
