 Useful Facts:

• Hungarian Sweet Paprika is known for its vibrant red color, which is a result of using ripe, sweet peppers in the grinding process.
• It is a staple in Hungarian cuisine, adding depth and flavor to traditional dishes like goulash and paprikash.
• Our Hungarian Sweet Paprika is sourced from premium peppers and carefully ground to preserve its authentic taste and aroma.
• Hungarian paprika is typically not smoked because it's made from specific varieties of peppers that are known for their rich flavor and vibrant color, and smoking could alter these characteristics. Hungarian paprika is made from peppers that are typically sun-dried or air-dried before being ground into a fine powder. This drying process helps concentrate the flavors of the peppers while preserving their natural sweetness and complexity.
• Additionally, the traditional Hungarian paprika-making process focuses on capturing the essence of the peppers' natural flavors rather than introducing smoky notes. This allows Hungarian paprika to maintain its distinct taste profile, which ranges from sweet and mild to hot and spicy, depending on the type of pepper used and the processing method.
