Sweet spice pepper - 100 grams bag

Chili has an ancient history dating back several millennia. It was already cultivated and consumed by indigenous peoples in America before Christopher Columbus arrived. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of chili culture at ancient sites in Mexico, indicating that its domestication dates back at least 6,000 years.

Today, chilli is grown in many parts of the world, with varieties adapted to different climates. Countries such as India, China, Mexico and some African countries are among the main producers of peppers.

There is a wide variety of peppers, ranging from sweet to very spicy varieties. Each region of the world has developed its own varieties of peppers, which are used in local cuisine to add flavor, colour and sometimes heat to dishes.
