Leutschauer Paprika Originally from Leutschau, Slovakia, this heritage pepper made its way to Matufred, Hungary in the early 1800s. Celebrated for its prolific yield and ease of growth, Leutschauer Paprika produces slender pods that ripen from green to bright red. Ideal for drying and grinding, it yields a rich, aromatic hot paprika powder with a distinctive flavour that has become a staple in traditional Hungarian cuisine.
