Paprika?

[Dr. Weird]

Hello peoples,
 
What are your favourite varieties to make paprika?
 
I'm not thinking of hot or super hot, mostly just mild to mid level heat and even non-hot capsicum varieties.
(Is regular non-hot pepper talk normal in these forums? I like all kinds of peppers.)
 
Do you guys usually mix different varieties together for your paprika or are there varieties that are typically 'go to' varieties?
 
Have a great day.

We started getting into making paprika the last few years.  We usually use Halaby and this year we've added Haskorea, Urfa Biber and Bacskai Feher.

I have grown some of the traditional Hungarian paprika varieties such as Szegedi 20 and Szegedi 80. These are used for commercial paprika production. There are a few varieties used for Spanish paprika production, but it is very difficult to get seeds for them.

Here's some:
 
Sweet - Papri, Bacskai Feher, Feher Ozon
Mild - Black Hungarian, Szeged, Szegedi 80
Medium - Kalocsai V-2
Hot - Leutschauer
Very Hot - Sibirischer Hauspaprika
 
You can try them straight up, or do some blends - up to you.
 
Paprika is fun! You should try a few.

Ahi Dulce is a red, pumpkin-shaped pepper resembling a habanero, but sweet and mild.  Origins are Venezuela.  Very prolific.

How about varieties like Chilhuacle Negro, Poblano or Pasilla?

I actually have Chilihuaca plants, but they initially never brown fruits.  They came out like mini green bells.  Then again, I could have just bee to impatient.

I wouldn't know, i'm growing some for the first time myself, if they're like Poblanos they probably start green and then get darker?

That's what I am thinking.  Plants are flowering again, so hopefully I will have pods soon.

Mine have just started turning in mass.  They will turn dark brown to almost black.  I think I have pictures on my glog.

A pic of the Ahi Dulce. Probably sideways.  Get over it.
