                                While both are derived from the dried fruit of the Capsicum annuum plant, paprika and paprika oleoresin differ significantly in their form, concentration, and application. Paprika is a ground spice, while paprika oleoresin is a concentrated, oil-based extract of its color and flavor principles.
