Chili peppers are one of the oldest crops cultivated by humans, in which regions were peppers first

Chili peppers are native to the Americas and were introduced to China at the end of the Ming Dynasty. There are about 30 species in the genus Pepper, all of which are produced in the Americas, with Bolivia in South America being the most abundant. The remains of two of the oldest chili peppers have been found, one in the Ocampo Caves in northeastern Mexico and the other in the Tehuacan Valley in southeastern Mexico.

Chili peppers are native to the tropical regions of Central and Latin America, and the country of origin is Mexico. At the end of the 15th century, Christopher Columbus brought chili peppers back to Europe after the discovery of America, and from there spread them to the rest of the world. It was introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty.

It was first produced in Southeast Asia, because the local climate is very humid, so they often eat chili peppers to remove some of their moisture, and then slowly found out by people in other places, and then introduced, so that it is now popular with many people.

It was probably in Latin America, but later it was also introduced to Europe and India, and during the Ming Dynasty, it reached Yunnan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan and other places in China.

It was first produced in Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Henan, and Hebei in China, and these places are all places where peppers are produced.

This is a plant that was first grown in Mexico, Peru and other regions, where it is very suitable for growing peppers because of the heat.

The earliest production area of chili pepper is actually Mexico, which was first cultivated by the Indians, and then came to our country and slowly became popular in Sichuan, Yunnan, Hunan, Hebei and other regions.

Growing conditions of chili peppers

1. Temperature: Pepper has higher requirements for temperature, the most suitable temperature for growth is 25 to 30 degrees during the day, 15 to 8 degrees at night, not resistant to low temperature, when the climate is relatively cold in winter, it is necessary to take thermal insulation measures to avoid low temperature frostbite plants, when the temperature is higher than 35 degrees in summer, the plant is easy to drop flowers and fruits, and measures need to be taken to cool down, and the plant and the surrounding environment can be sprayed.

2. Light: Pepper is a light-loving plant, avoid strong light exposure, in summer and autumn when the sun is strong, it needs proper shading, you can use a small shed for shading grid for shading, so as not to burn the plant with strong light, the sun is weak in winter and spring, and you need to open the thermal insulation plastic film regularly to receive sunlight when it is warm at noon.

3. Moisture: Pepper has strict requirements for water, the soil can neither be dry nor wet, watering should be carried out when the soil surface is dry, and the plant needs a lot of water during the growth period, so the number of watering should be increased to keep the soil moist. In winter, the plant needs less water, the amount of watering should be reduced, and the water should be drained in time in the rainy season to avoid root rot caused by soil waterlogging, and peppers prefer drier air conditions, and when the air is relatively humid, ventilation and dehumidification are required.

How many years has the tradition of eating chili peppers in China, and how many people know that chili peppers are not actually produced in China. China has wild chili peppers, and it is said that China has had chili peppers since ancient times, just when it entered the plate. From the perspective of human migration, indigenous peoples migrated from Asia and could therefore bring Chinese pepper, peanuts, corn, and other seeds to the Americas.

From the three-star bronze portrait, there was no beard more than three thousand years ago, which indicates that the Indians were closer to the ancients.

Chili peppers are not only eaten by Chinese, Thailand, India also eat chili peppers. Yu Gong records the black water of Huayang, and the black water of Liangzhou enters the South China Sea, i.e. Thailand is a beam of light, similar to the Sichuan culture. Sichuan is characterized by spicy and Thai is sour.

In China, chili peppers come in a variety of formats. Without time to accumulate, it did not reach such heights. For example, kimchi, tofu, and not rotten tung have been cultivated for a long time, and it is a kind of food that does not invent this fermentation.

That is, from the Americas to China, in a few hundred years, ornamental plants were completed, became food, widely accepted, improved, overplanted, starved and fermented products, which is unlikely. That is, the words of spicy words, dirty horses. Although pepper is not present in literature, there is a vocabulary such as pepper, qin pepper and Sichuan pepper, that is to say it is named according to the geographical name, not taste.

According to the practice of the Ming and Qing dynasties, imported goods were called foreign goods, but chili peppers did not use the word pepper, but sea chili peppers. The sea of sea peppers should be the sea of five lakes, which are widely cultivated in the four seas.

Chili peppers were first produced in the Americas and have a history of at least 7,000 years.

The Mexican region, also because of its later development, gradually spread to the region of China and became a local cuisine in China.

Chili pepper is an American plant that has only been cultivated in China for a few hundred years. And then I want to say: Xinjiang is rich in chili peppers! Xinjiang is rich in chili peppers! Xinjiang is rich in chili peppers! Something important roars three times!

Anjihai Town, Shawan County, Xinjiang as early as 2002 by the Ministry of Agriculture named the hometown of Chinese peppers, in recent years, the rapid rise of the pepper industry has become the main force of Xinjiang's red industry, Anjihai Town is the most complete species, the best quality of pepper planting base and trading and distribution center in Xinjiang, Anjihai pepper planting area of about 60,000 acres, accounting for about a quarter of the whole Xinjiang, exported to Shaanxi, Hunan, Yunnan, Guichuan and other inland pepper processing and distribution provinces. The unique light, heat, water and soil resources and the superior geographical location of the local area have bred high-quality chili peppers, and 60% of the farmers' income in Anjihai Town comes from chili peppers. We also have a natural spicy skin drying field:

Gobi. When it comes to the season of spicy harvest, we dry spicy skins like this:

Xinjiang people's favorite Shawan ** chicken, Chaiwobao spicy chicken, spicy skin rolling pork noodles, snow lotus chili shreds are all spicy skin, the chili sauce sold in the market, there may be 4 bottles of chili pepper in every 10 bottles from Xinjiang. Legend has it that the chili peppers in Xinjiang were first brought into the Anjihai area of Xinjiang by the "children of Huxiang". Since then, pepper cultivation has spread throughout northern and southern Xinjiang.

Other provinces in the northwest and some countries in Central Asia were introduced through Xinjiang. Now, the chili peppers of Shawan Anjihai are exported to the mainland and Southeast Asian markets due to their unique quality.

The spicy skin of Yanqi Basin in Xinjiang is also running all the way, there are capsanthin, pepper granules, pepper seeds and other products, the products are exported to the United States, South Korea, the European Union and other countries and regions, accounting for 80% of the Chinese market, accounting for 50% of the world market, Yanqi spicy skin has quietly entered the national people's table.

Chili peppers were first produced in Latin America and were introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty.

Chili peppers were first produced in Latin America and were first discovered in Mexico, where navigators discovered this amazing food.

Chili peppers were first produced in North America, and after passing through the sea**, China introduced chili peppers for cultivation and became a condiment.

China's pepper production areas are: Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Yunnan, Jize County in Hebei Province, Xichuan County in Henan Province and Tuoketuo County in Inner Mongolia.

Chili peppers are eaten in many parts of China. It is an essential condiment in many dishes and an ingredient that adds flavor to hot pots. The market demand is relatively strong, so it attracts many farmers to plant, and ordinary farmers will choose local popular varieties for planting.

1.Millet pepper.

Millet pepper is a variety of chili pepper that is commonly found in green and red. Among them, there are many chili seeds and thin flesh. It is often used as a condiment in a variety of dishes, dried chili peppers, paprika, and chili oil.

It is often used for processing in the market, so the demand is also very high, and the profit of planting is very considerable.

2.Seven Star Peppers.

This is a Sichuan pepper variety, with high spiciness, thin skin and thick meat. Perfect for cooking a variety of dishes and rich in aroma. It is one of the premium pepper varieties on the market.

Although spicy, it has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and is rich in nutrients such as lycopene, calcium, phosphorus, and iron. At present, it is widely cultivated in the south of our country.

3.Screw pepper.

Screw pepper is mainly produced in Yunnan, Hunan, Shaanxi and other places in China, and belongs to hybrid varieties. Depending on the place of origin, the fruit is pale green or dark green when ripe, and the fruit shape is slender and wrinkled, and the taste is crisp. Now, screw peppers are often used to cook a variety of dishes, and their market value is very high.

4.Wrinkled peppers.

This pepper is only grown in Yunnan. When ripe, peppers are light yellow-green, brittle and wrinkled. The spiciness. After cooking, the flavor is crisp and has a quiet peppery taste. So the calories consumed are also high.

5.Horn pepper.

Niuhao pepper has the advantages of large fruit, straight, easy to produce and so on. This is a very early maturing variety. It is native to Fujian and is now a very famous variety of chili pepper with thin skin and thick flesh and rich aroma.

And there are few pepper seeds, and the spiciness is low. It is often used to cook a variety of dishes. The market demand is good, and the planting profit is considerable.

There are many varieties of chili peppers, and there are only a few types. Like the aforementioned horn peppers, it is not only high yield, good quality, disease resistance, and easy to manage. If you plant a few acres of land every year, you won't make less money every year.

Sweet pepper varieties, compared with other varieties, are relatively difficult to manage and have poor disease resistance, so extra care should be taken in the management of bell peppers. Brother Zhang has accumulated a lot of planting experience over the years, and he also has his own unique method in the planting and management of bell peppers, which is not only large, bright skin, but also square in shape. Of course, the market is high, and the income is naturally high.

Yellow-skinned pepper: Yellow-skinned pepper is still planted in a large area in the south and northwest of China, and now it is also planted in Yunnan and other places. So, the yellow-skinned pepper looks bright and sells well, ***. Every year, two or three acres of ten acres of pepper fields must be planted.

At least in Yunnan, Sichuan, Hubei and other places in China, peppers were found to be native to the wild land in the early years, and the history is more than several thousand.

Not only that, the historical materials of Shang Tang are spicy, and even the Chu people have to have spicy food when they are sacrificed as recorded in "Chu Ci Summoning Spirits". "Huayang National Chronicles", "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Poetry, Chen Feng, the East Gate", "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the North Mountain, the Jingshan" and so on have evidence. Of course, more direct is the original physical objects and unearthed evidence:

In the 70s of the 20th century, Chinese botanists have discovered wild-type extremely spicy millet pepper in the primeval forest of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, thus proving that China is also the origin of chili pepper. Subsequently, in 1993, wild yellow peppers were discovered in the Shennongjia area of Hubei Province. The unearthed Tang Dynasty lacquer box contains well-preserved chili peppers.

Our precious plant species have been stolen in the largest amount, and there are many stolen ones, so the distortion of the facts by the Western plant kingdom is more to cover up their past theft. Therefore, after the French botanist visited China, he once brought back some wild pepper seeds, which he called "Chinese peppers" and brought them back to France for cultivation. But he mistakenly believes that these wild peppers are just Chinese varieties of South American peppers.

In fact, these peppers should be millet peppers, a native species of the Yunnan-Guizhou region. It is extremely difficult to reverse a large number of mistakes.

In addition, the reversal happened, and the foreign network army must be distressed: the chili pepper was actually introduced to the Indians in South America from China. The details are not clear, but perhaps the seeds brought by the Chinese Yindians are the seeds. It doesn't matter, the important thing is that we have our own pepper species.

Chaotian pepper is a variety of chili pepper, because it grows towards the sky, hence the name. Chaotian pepper is the fifth hottest pepper in the world. Let's take a look at how Japanese farmers grow it.

Clause. First, the fully ripe and air-dried Chaotian pepper as a new seed, tear the shell of Chaotian pepper, take out the pepper seeds inside, pour nutrient soil into the small plastic cup, poke a small hole in the nutrient soil of each plastic cup with your fingers, and then plant a pepper seed in each small hole, and then cover it with soil, wait for a month, you can transplant the pepper seedlings into the ground, and use a tool to make a small hole in the ground covered with film, and this tool can be watered in the hole at the same time.

Clause. Second, then put each pepper seedling into the hole, and the vegetable farmer behind the seedlings is righted and filled with dry soil, so that the pepper is planted. After three months, Chaotian pepper can bloom and bear fruit, and it can be harvested in two or three months, at this time Chaotian pepper is green, and it can also be picked and eaten, but if you want to get chili powder, you must wait until Chaotian is poured red, and after a period of time, the Chaotian pepper at this time has completely turned red, and it can be harvested.

Clause. Third, the harvest will be picked as a whole, cut off the root of Chaotian pepper with scissors, and then hang these Chaotian peppers to dry, this kind of pepper has been changed in Japan, ripe is also uniform, and the yield is also high, so the use of this picking method can save boiling grains and time, and air drying is also fast, after drying, you can pick down the Chaotian pepper one by one, and the Chaotian pepper will be powdered, you can make chili sauce, chili oil and various chili seasonings, the spiciness of this Chaotian pepper is actually very high. After the production of chili sauce and other products must be manually tested, if there are no other problems, you can pack them and wait for transportation and delivery.

Then they will be shipped to some supermarkets around the world. At this point, the planting process of Chaotian pepper has been completely over.
