Paprika the Hungarian Spice

I've been using Paprika, the incredible Hungarian Spice, for quite some time, well before I could drive a car. In fact, I even remember as a child adding it to my oatmeal ... today I wouldn't recommend that but I have seen friends adding it to their scrambled eggs!

My grandmother used lots of Paprika in her Hungarian recipes; especially in her Chicken Paprikas and Veal Paprikas! Oh, grandma didn't add Paprika to her most delicious Stuffed Cabbage.

Hungarian Paprika is an absolutely fabulous spice. Paprika is the essential spice for Hungarian cuisine, giving food color and taste.
