The Pepper is originally from Mexico, Bolivia, and Peru. They arrived in Spain in 1493, after Christopher Columbus's first trip to America. The indigenous Americans called them chili, but the Spanish and Portuguese called them peppers or Brazilian peppers.
From the 16th century, they began to be cultivated in Spain and from there they passed to Italy and from Italy to France. The Portuguese were responsible for bringing them to the rest of Europe and the rest of the world. However, the larger and fleshier sweet or mildly spicy varieties that we consume today began to be cultivated from the 20th century onwards.
The Pepper belongs to the Solanaceae family, to the Capsicum genus, of which there are 2,300 species, including tomatoes and eggplants.
