Description
The Black Hungarian is a striking heirloom pepper from Hungary, known for its dramatic dark purple foliage, flowers, and immature pods that ripen to bright red. Its small, elongated fruits carry mild to moderate heat with a fruity flavor. An ornamental favorite and culinary pepper, it is used fresh, roasted, or pickled in Hungarian and European cuisine, adding both color and spice.
