History and importance of paprika, the "red gold".

There are very few cultivated plants in Hungary which became so popular and indispensable since the time they were first imported.
Nowadays it is one of the most characteristics spices of Hungarian cooking.
Its fire red colour, its capacity to redden dishes and its hot taste turned it to our national spice and an export article well known all over the world.
In autumn, in September the region almost like being on fire from its flaming red colour, thousands of acres of paprika ripens, which is rightfully called "red gold" everywhere.

Its original home was probably Mexico and Central-America.
They imported it to Europe at the same time as tobacco and potatoes.
First it has been cultivated in Spain, later in Great-Britain and in the south of France.
It was introduced by the Turks to Hungary.
Our herbaria from the 16th century mentioned the paprika an "Indian pepper" or "Turkish pepper".
In the beginning it became known as an exotic plant brought from the New World but its ingestion soon became very popular and in the 19th century on it is important as a commercial article, too.

The climate and soil of Szeged and Kalocsa are the most well known for producing paprika.
Kalocsa as a settlement growing paprika is mentioned for the first time in a document of the Archiepiscopal Arch Eves of Kalocsa, dated 1729.
From the middle of the 19th century paprika was not milling in ship-mills or dry mills because mills became operated by vapour gas, oil and electricity.
Nowadays paprika is produced using the traditional methods.

The exposition of the Paprika Museum shows the preparation and the sale.

The building of 2 Hunyadi st.
was built by István Katona, the first historian of Kalocsa, between 1795 and 1796.
Here has been placed the Archives of Archiepiscopal Farming and the Collection of the Fine arts of Kalocsa.
