Origin
Bell peppers, also known as sweet peppers or capsicum, are believed to have originated in Central and South America. They were first cultivated by the indigenous people of these regions, such as the Maya and Aztecs, as early as 5000 BC. Bell peppers were later introduced to Europe by Christopher Columbus during his voyages to the New World in the late 15th century. From Europe, bell peppers spread to other parts of the world through trade and exploration. Today, they are grown in various countries across the globe, including the United States, Mexico, Spain, China, and Turkey.
