"S­plit­ting"

S­plit­ting was the pro­cess of cut­ting out the core, the vein­s an­d the seed­s with a sharp tool un­til only the skin of cap­sic­um re­mained. This s­plit skin was thread in a gar­land an­d was hun­g on the "paprika-­grate".

The grates were sus­pen­ded on the ceil­ing of the dry­ing room, built for this spe­cial pur­pose. An iron stove warmed up the dry­ing room. Af­ter dry­ing it, the s­plit skin was s­mashed with the "cudgel". The s­mashed paprika was taken to the mill for grind­ing. Dry­ing the gar­land­s was the last task of the cap­sic­um pro­du­cer­. The pre­par­at­or was do­ing the rest of the work.
