Origin
Red bell peppers, also known as sweet peppers or capsicum, are believed to have originated in Central and South America. They were first domesticated by indigenous people in these regions, and their cultivation dates back thousands of years. Eventually, red bell peppers were introduced to Europe by Christopher Columbus upon his return from his voyages to the New World in the late 15th century. From there, their popularity spread, and they are now grown and consumed in various parts of the world.
