In summary, paprika and bell pepper have different origins and varieties. Paprika originated in Mexico and was brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus. Hungary and Spain are known for producing some of the best paprika in the world, with a range of varieties that vary in flavor, heat, and color. Bell peppers are native to South America and come in a variety of colors. There are several types of paprika, including sweet, hot, and smoked, each with its own unique flavor profile.

The Scoville Scale was developed in 1912 by Wilbur Scoville, a pharmacist from the United States. To determine the SHU, an exact weight of hot pepper is dissolved in alcohol to extract the capsaicinoids components. These components are then diluted in a solution of sugar water and decreasing concentrations are given to a panel of trained tasters until a majority can no longer detect them in a diluted form. The heat level is then rated based on this dilution in multiples of 100 SHU. This system was initially purely organoleptic but nowadays is measured using HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) to prevent any deviation from sensory fatigue or the chosen panel´s resistance.
