About
Paprika is a ground red pepper spice that weighs about half as much as table salt by volume.
Ground paprika has a bulk density of around 4.0 ounces per cup (0.48 grams per milliliter). Because it is milled from dried pepper flesh, air spaces between the small particles keep it relatively light. A standard cup weighs 4.0 ounces (114 grams), meaning it takes up much more room than denser baking staples like table salt or white sugar. It shares a similar volume-to-weight profile with other dried, ground chili powders.
From Wikipedia
Paprika is a spice made from dried and ground red peppers, Capsicum annuum. It is traditionally made from Capsicum annuum varietals in the Longum group, and while it can have varying levels of heat, the peppers used tend to be milder and have thinner flesh than those used to produce chili powder.
