Gewürzpaprika

[German]

"Sweet pepper." Red pepper (US: sweet red bell pepper). The large varieties are used as a vegetable and can be used either cooked or raw. Other varieties are smaller, long, with a pointed tip and filled with pungent seeds. They are used for seasoning, either dried or fresh. These peppers are not so strong in flavour as the chilli or cayenne pepper.
