Chillies have a rich history, dating back over 6,000 years to ancient civilizations in Central and South America. They were first cultivated by indigenous peoples and later spread across the globe through trade and exploration. Today, chillies are a staple in cuisines worldwide, celebrated for their ability to enhance flavors and add heat to dishes.

From an environmental perspective, growing chillies can contribute positively to biodiversity. They attract beneficial insects and can be grown in small spaces, making them ideal for urban gardening. Additionally, by cultivating your own chillies, you reduce reliance on commercially produced vegetables, which often involve significant transportation emissions.
