A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CHILLI

Chillies originated in Mexico and first traded around 6000 years ago, they have been part of the human diet since 7000BC.

Chillies were grown around the world from around 1493 commercially and used in medicine from 1494.

Many cultivars spread across the world and are used in both food and traditional medicine ...

Peru is considered to have the highest cultivated capsicum diversity… Although you can find chilli peppers almost anywhere in the world…
