"Siev­ing the s­mashed paprika"
In the pas­t the gar­land­s were dried in an oven. The dried plant was put in a spe­cial bowl ("külü") an­d s­mashed. The s­mashed sub­stance was sieved an­d the paprika powder­, c­alled "láng­paprika"(fire-paprika), was gathered. The rest re­main­ing in the sieve was s­mashed a­gain. This paprika was ex­tremely hot as the core, the seed­s an­d the vein­s were not cut out­.

" Paprika cudgel­ling"







"Cudgel­ling" ("­furkózás") was a more com­plex meth­od. The core was cut out­, then paprika was s­mashed in a spe­cial bowl ("külü"), an­d then they sep­ar­ated the powder from the leftover­s by siev­ing it.
