While most chili powder sold in US grocery stores contains blended spices, this term can also be used for powdered hot peppers on their own. This usage is common in Asian recipes and grocery stores. These powders tend to be much spicier than blended American chili powder.

Bell peppers are not called paprika; rather, they are the primary ingredient used to make paprika.
