Default Paprika - pepper

So I started with paprika plants and now I think that
I have the hot pepper plants.
Is it possible that my paprika plant has mutated into a pepper plant ?


Paprika _is_ a type of pepper, grown full-mature, dried and ground. Many
peppers cross-pollinate pretty readily, and the bad news is that "hot" is a
dominant trait.
Do you have any of the old seed left to go back to?
People that grow several pepper varieties for seed often cage them to
insure purity.
