Paprika, Hungarian

Hungarian paprika has a sweet, rounded flavour with slightly tart notes. The vibrant red powder is a staple within Hungarian kitchens and is vastly different to Spanish versions such as pimenton picante and pimenton dulce because it lacks their smoky flavour.

Hungary is one of the largest producers of paprika in the world and Hungarian Paprika is known for its high quality. Made by grinding dried, sweet red peppers, Hungarian paprika is rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants. Thanks to its bright red colour, it’s often used not just to flavour dishes but to garnish them too.

Having been used for centuries, Hungarian paprika is a vital ingredient within the classic Hungarian dish Goulash and Paprika Chicken (Paprikás Csirke). Try using in pasta dishes or as a seasoning for potatoes.
