Paprika hot - the fiery seducer among spices!

For all those who like things a little hotter: Paprika hot not only brings intense color, but also a pleasant, spicy heat to the plate. With its strong, slightly smoky aroma, it gives savory dishes an unmistakable depth - perfect for anyone who loves the taste of paprika but doesn't want to do without a little heat kick.

Peppers belong to the nightshade family and originally come from Central and South America, where they were already being cultivated around 5,000 BC. Around 25 species are known worldwide, but only five have been deliberately domesticated by humans - the rest are wild original forms, which are often particularly aromatic. After the discovery of America, paprika reached Europe via Spain - and quickly became part of many cuisines.

Hungary and paprika - a spicy history

In Hungary, the paprika was not only cultivated but also refined. While it was initially considered more of an ornamental plant, Hungarian farmers began to cultivate different varieties in the 18th century - especially in the regions of Szeged and Kalocsa, which are now considered the strongholds of paprika cultivation. It was there that the rose-hot variety was developed, which is characterized by its intense, subtly spicy aroma and pleasant heat.

In the 19th century, paprika became the national spice of Hungary - an integral part of countless dishes. Paprika plays a particularly important role in Hungarian goulash. While sweet paprika gives the dish a mild, fruity note, hot paprika adds spice and depth - both varieties are often combined to make the most of the full spectrum of flavors.

Versatile use: Whether it's a hearty goulash, savory stews, spicy meat marinades or even hot dips - paprika hot brings fire to the kitchen and adds character to dishes.

Kitchen tip: Give a traditional sausage salad or a rustic cheese salad that certain something with a pinch of paprika hot - perfect for anyone who likes spiciness with style!
