The History of the Chilli Pepper

The capsicum (Chilli Pepper) plant is indigenous to South America, where they grow wild. The very first concerted cultivation of the plant is believed to have taken place around 7000 to 6000 BC and traces have been found at prehistoric burial sites around Peru. By the turn of the 15th century, when the Spanish and Portuguese discovered South America, chilli peppers were widely cultivated for human consumption. Aren't we all glad that they did?

As the climate of southern Europe was ideal for growing chilli peppers, is wasn't too long before the fruit was available in most European market places. The powder ground from the dried fruits was being sold in all the major cities of Europe as it kept well and was very easy to transport.

Powdered chilli pepper, appeared in many of the 18th century recipes, but the real enthusiasts, were among the Victorians who loved the new Indian dishes, popularized during the height of the British Empire in India. It wasn't long before companies such as Lazenbys, Harveys, and Crosse & Blackwell, manufactured hot pepper sauces to grace the Victorian dinner tables. During the 20th century, powdered chilli pepper was used mainly in the preparation of national and ethnic dishes from South America to North America to India to Africa to China and Southeast Asia. Who can honestly say that they don't enjoy eating a great Madras lamb-on-the-bone, or a Thai green chicken curry or the world famous Singapore Chilli crab or South Africa's Cape Malay Baboti? I know I do!!
