Interesting facts

A vegetable native to South and Central America, it has many varieties. Paprika, with the Latin name Capsicum annuum, belongs to the nightshade family and is a distant relative of tomatoes and potatoes. It has been known in Hungary since the 16th century, and Hungarian growers have made the long, pointed type known worldwide as a spice. Its cultivation in Hungary began in Szeged in the 18th century, followed by Szentes and Kalocsa.

Use

It can be consumed raw, in salads, on cold platters, or cooked, baked, pickled, and also as part of many different dishes.

Producer information

Caparrós, the parent company of Caparrós Nature, was founded in 1984 as a family business in Almeria. In Almeria, vegetable production and trade have achieved significant development both nationally and internationally. They are among the leading companies in foreign agricultural sales. The numbers support the positive trend that the sector has experienced in the last decade, doubling its exports.

Europe is the main market for Andalusian agricultural sales, as the ten main markets are located on this continent. Germany is the main destination for their fruit and vegetable exports. All their products are grown locally: tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, aubergines, courgettes, and watermelons. In 2020, the company founded the Pedro Caparros Foundation.

Caparrós' plantations are located in different strategic areas of the province of Almería to guarantee production 12 months a year. In the cold autumn-winter season, they produce on the coast, next to the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park (the largest marine-terrestrial protected area on the entire European continent). Its average annual temperature is 18 °C. In the warm seasons, production comes from their cultivated land at the foot of the Sierra Nevada, in the Sierra de los Filabres area. This is the other great natural park in southern Spain. Its altitude and temperature provide a mild climate in summer, which allows the two production periods to be linked.
