“PEP” FROM PEPPER
CHEMISTS' ACHIEVEMENT. Hungarian chemists have in recent months succeeded in taking the hot taste out of their famous red pepper, the spice known as paprika, while keeping all its virtues. The original home of the plant is South America, and it is said that it was brought into Hungary by Turkish invaders. Details of its cultivation are to bo found in Hungarian literature as long ago as the 14th century.
Recent tests at the University of Szege have proved that paprika contains a large amount of vitamins A and C, and the Government has taken steps to improve its seeds and cultivation. It was at the testing station al Kaiocsa last year that pods of paprika were raised with all the virtues of the spice yet entirely free from the ingredient giving the hot taste.
