Capsicum Annuum is usually a perennial shrub. However, it is not hardy. Therefore, in this country, one speaks of annual plants. Our cold winters kill these plants. Every year they are reared from seed. They can reach a stature height of several meters, and have egg-shaped green leaves with white flowers in the flowering period. This produces the green pepper fruits that turn yellow when ripe and then red.
The pepper flakes are made from sweet peppers. After harvesting, they are dried and then roughly cut.

Hungary's national spice
At the time of Christopher Columbus, Europeans had little interest in chili. They prefer the expensive black pepper. But other regions around the world find chili very interesting and quickly incorporate them into their cooking culture. It was the Ottoman Turks who bring the chili back to Europe. They introduce it to Hungary, which they then occupied. From here, chili spread across Europe in much more mild forms than in the tropics. The sweet peppers were bred and widely grown.
Storage of spices
Please fill your spices into jars with screw cap closure. Store the glasses in a dark, dry, and cold place. The ideal temperature for storing spices is 15 ° C.
