Ostra Cyclon is a Hungarian Parika with very mild heat and great flavour. Good for using as is or as a drying pepper. In South Africa Paprika normally refers to a sweet pepper. The European and middle versions of Parika however has mild heat, which adds to the versatility.
The peppers start green and turn brown, eventually maturing to red. The plants may need support and are prized as highly productive - think 25-35 peppers per plant. Each pepper can grow to 5.5 inches long by 1.5 inch wide on plants that grow 18-30 inches tall. I only found one heat rating for this pepper and it was 5,000 Scoville units. I found a few reviews from people who've grown this pepper to claim it's on par with a cayenne for heat level, despite a few stores selling them as "mild" peppers. This one is hard to find information on in English, but I did find a few sources in Polish.
80-90 days to maturity
Makes great Paprika spice. They dry fast, thin skin. Delicious.
