Paprika
Not only does Hungary have the abundance of sunshine needed
to grow the world's best paprika, it also has knowledgeable farmers capable
of nurturing the crop from planting to harvest. In Hungary more than forty
types of paprika are grown. The farmers determine which type will produce
the sweetest, most colorful crop based on their weather predictions for
the coming year. The quality of the paprika in this year's crop will depend
on how much sunlight Southern and Eastern Hungary receive in the weeks before
the harvest. Hungarian Paprika is great for not only adding vibrant color,
but rich pleasing flavor to traditional dishes like Hungarian Goulash. Hungarian
Sweet Paprika also enhances simple baked chicken.
Californian paprika is deep red, mild and sweet, nice for chicken
but browns with long cooking.
