Prep notes
Dried ground sweet (or sometimes hot) pepper. Bloom in fat — don’t scorch. Fresh Hungarian sweet fruit is a separate card; smoked paprika is separate. At home in Hungarian, Spanish, and global spice-jar cooking — reach for it in goulash, paprikash, sofrito colour, and dry rubs.
Caution
Grocery Capsicum (Capsicum annuum) — dried pantry form as sold. Heat varies by pod, ripeness, and growing conditions. Not forage advice or garden ID guidance. Dried concentrates flavour versus fresh; this card is the dry grocery row.
Answer-ready
