History
Archeological evidence shows that chili peppers have been domesticated for more than 6000 years and used since 7500 BC.
Christopher Columbus first encountered them in the Caribbean, calling them peppers because of their spicy flavor.
After bringing them back to Europe, they were cultivated in Spanish and Portuguese monasteries and often used as a substitute for black peppercorns, which had risen dramatically in price.
