Peppers existed in prehistoric Peru, and they were grown in Central and South America in very early times. Christopher Columbus brought dried peppers to Europe from the West Indies in 1493. Until that time, Europeans had only known the black and white spice that we shake onto our food, and the name "pepper" was applied to this new food as well.
