Chili pepper
Chili pepper has a 10 000 year old tradition in America; it is “clearly one of the first crops grown by the Native Americans”.
The explorers were searching for not only new lands but also new types of food, when they first occupied America. Spice trade was an important business back then; this is why they attached great importance to the chili peppers. The vegetable rapidly gained popularity and nowadays people use it everywhere in the world.
