Summary

Chili Pepper Migration explores the fascinating global journey of chili peppers, tracing their origins in the Americas to their now-ubiquitous presence in world cuisines. It reveals how the Columbian Exchange and subsequent global trade dramatically altered culinary landscapes. Surprisingly, the diverse array of chili peppers we know today all stem from a single origin, highlighting the power of human selection and botanical adaptation.

 
This book examines the botanical history, global spread, and culinary adaptation of chili peppers across continents. It details how Spanish and Portuguese traders played a crucial role in introducing this spice to Asia and Africa. The narrative unfolds chronologically, beginning with the early domestication of capsicum and progressing through trade routes to the integration of chili peppers into regional dishes like those of India, Thailand, and West Africa.

 
By examining historical records and culinary practices, Chili Pepper Migration illustrates the interconnectedness of food, culture, and global trade. It demonstrates how a single plant species transformed cuisines worldwide, impacting economies and shaping regional identities. The book's unique value lies in its comprehensive approach, blending botanical science with culinary and historical insights to reveal the profound impact of this unassuming spice.
