5,000-15,000 SHU. Edes Füszer Paprika," which translates to "Sweet Spice Paprika," is an heirloom C. annuum variety originating from Hungary. This productive variety yields an abundance of elongated pods that transition from green to red upon full ripeness. While these peppers can be consumed fresh or used in sauces, their best use aligns with centuries-old Hungarian practices—drying the peppers to create a superb sweet paprika powder. Alternatively, smoking the dried pods could produce a delightful sweet smoked paprika, leveraging the pepper's natural flavors to their fullest potential. Non-Isolated.
