Edes Füszer Paprika
Edes Füszer Paprika. Literally translated means "Sweet Spice Paprika". The Edes Füszer Paprika is an heirloom C. Annuum variety that originates from Hungary. It is a medium sized plant that germinates and grows well. A good, productive plant that yield lots of elongated pods that ripen from green to red when fully ripe. Plants will require supporting as the weight of the pods can have a tendancy to topple over the plant.
As the name suggest, this is a sweet & fruity pepper. The aroma of the pods is clean and herbaceous and flavour is equally clean, sweet and fruity with citrus undertones. There is no heat that we could detect on these peppers. While this pepper can be eaten fresh or made into sauces, it really would be a shame. This pepper lends itself best to what has been practiced in Hungary for centuries - drying the pepper and making a superb sweet paprika powder. One could possibly also look at smoking the dried pods to make a lovely sweet smoked paprika.

* The container sizes above are sugested sizes that are reasonable and accessible for most growers (taking price, space, ecological/environmental impact into consideration). Not everyone can look at growing in huge containers. If you can justify growing in larger containers - there are no limitations on container sizes. You may however, rather look at growing in soil as an option in these instances. Using large amounts of potting medium will come with ecological/environmental impact, which you may wish to take into consideration.
