Fact of the Day: American Pepper
The Chili Pepper originated in the Americas. Christopher Columbus' crew brought some back to Europe after one of his voyages. The pepper was later spread across the globe which led to new varieties that many enjoy today.
I'm not much of a pepper person, can be a bit spicy at times, but it is interesting that it originated here in the Americas.
