Peppers - Characteristics

It's probably no surprise that bell peppers are one of the world's most popular crops. Not only is they widely grown as a fresh vegetable, but they're also used to make one of the most versatile spices: dried, ground paprika. Many types of bell peppers are cultivated, and depending on the variety and processing method, a whole range of spices can be obtained. Major producers of this aromatic spice include South America, North Africa, Indonesia, Hungary, and Spain. Hungarian-grown bell peppers are considered to have a stronger and more interesting flavor than Spanish paprika, which is much milder.

Sweet peppers - culinary uses

Ground paprika has an aromatic aroma and, depending on the variety and processing method, tastes either hot and burning or mild and sweet. In this case, we are dealing with the latter. Interestingly, the spiciness of paprika can also be controlled by limiting or increasing the amount of seeds that end up in the final product. As you can probably guess, the more seeds the ground and dried peppers contain, the hotter they are. This aromatic red powder not only adds an exceptional aroma and flavor to dishes, but also a vibrant color. It is a spice that perfectly complements the flavor of all fish and meat dishes, sauces, and soups. It is the basis for iconic dishes such as salted meats and paprika stew.

Tip

Store it in airtight containers. For this reason, each of our spice packets features a zipper for easy opening and closing. Ground paprika in ordinary foil not only loses its wonderful aroma very quickly after opening, but it can also easily spill out of the packaging, for example, in a drawer or cupboard. Your convenience is important to us!
