Interesting article vfem! 
I've always wondered if it was possible to make paprika at home. I'm always using it in marinades for meat and cooking in general. It really does add a nice flavor to food. Could you use any kind of red pepper to make paprika or does it have to be specially for paprika.
Thanks for posting this vfem!

I think it says specifically a thin skinned pepper only because of the long low humidity drying time. A thicker skin pepper will retain moisture and mold inside.
I wonder where I would find out about the skin thickness of a pepper before I would even chose to use it for this?
Must research!

Mexicans make a sweet paprika from ripe and dried red poblano peppers.
