Overview
Dulce Rojo is a Hungarian paprika pepper grown for spice rather than fresh eating. The plants are indeterminate and reach about 36 inches, with fruit about 5 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches that turns from green to a vermilion red. It is picked fully ripe, dried and crushed; the resulting paprika is used mostly for its color, with very little flavor of its own. Ripe fruit comes at around 80 days from transplanting.
