"Paprika" in Hungarian means any member of the Capsicum family. Some are
eaten raw, some cooked, and some are dried and sold as powder. The
powder can be sweet, mild or (very) hot, depending on the variety used.
All the varieties are called "paprika", with a qualifier desciribing the
variety, e.g. "cseresznye paprika" denotes the cherry-sized kind often
used to impart heat to goulash and other stews. Hope this helps.
