Hungarian Paprika

Creoly Gündel is the one who reinvented the Hungarian fatty foods and showed them to the visitors of the 1939 exhibition in New York, the one who should be credited as the person who introduced paprika to the world. Since the 16th century, this plant has existed in Hungary, but it was mostly used as decoration in the castles of the nobles, not as a spice!

Hungarian paprika powder is made by harvesting and drying the plant, but its taste differs depending on the region where it is produced. Despite its relatively short history, Hungarian paprika has gained widespread popularity in many countries.
