Sweet Pepper Hungarian Paprika (Capsicum annuum)
Sweet Pepper Hungarian Paprika is a renowned heirloom variety, celebrated for its exceptional sweetness and vibrant red color. Originally cultivated in Hungary, this pepper variety is prized for its versatility, making it ideal for both fresh and dried culinary uses.
Plant Characteristics
The Hungarian Paprika plant is a compact, bushy variety that grows to a height of 60–90 cm, making it suitable for both garden beds and container gardening. It produces elongated, tapered fruits measuring 12–15 cm in length and weighing approximately 80–120 grams each. The peppers mature from green to a deep, rich red when fully ripe, showcasing a glossy, smooth skin. This variety is highly productive, providing consistent yields throughout the season.
Flavor and Nutritional Qualities
Hungarian Paprika is known for its mild, sweet flavor with no heat, making it perfect for those who prefer a more delicate pepper taste. When dried and ground, it produces the classic Hungarian paprika spice, renowned for its rich, earthy flavor and vibrant color. These peppers are rich in vitamins A, C, and antioxidants, offering numerous health benefits, including immune support and anti-inflammatory properties.
Cultivation Recommendations
This variety thrives in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date, maintaining a soil temperature of 24–27°C for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors when the weather is warm, spacing plants 40–50 cm apart. Regular watering, mulching, and occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer will ensure healthy growth. Fruits typically mature in 80–90 days after transplanting, delivering an abundant harvest.
Applications and Uses
Sweet Pepper Hungarian Paprika is a versatile kitchen essential. Fresh peppers can be enjoyed in salads, roasted, or stuffed, while dried peppers are ideal for grinding into the iconic paprika spice used in soups, stews, and marinades.
