Origin
Bell peppers, also known as sweet peppers or capsicum, are native to Central and South America. They have been cultivated for thousands of years and were commonly used by indigenous peoples in their cuisines. The exact origin of bell peppers is believed to be in the region that covers present-day Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. From there, they were introduced to other parts of the world through the Columbian Exchange during the 15th and 16th centuries. Today, bell peppers are grown and consumed worldwide, with different varieties and colors available in different regions.
