When Christopher Columbus set foot on the American continent, he thought he found a new route to India. He noticed that the Aboriginals did not eat anything without adding chilli. It was, therefore, Christopher Columbus who brought back the famous pepper at the end of the 15th century and introduced it to the other parts of the world.
Chilli powder was subsequently introduced throughout South America both as a medicine, as a condiment, but also as a vegetable in its fresh and raw form. Today, it is a condiment cultivated on all continents of the world.
