Peppers are native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America, with pepper seeds imported to Spain in 1493 before spreading through Europe and Asia.FactsBell PepperConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOrigin RegionWell-attestedMexico, Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America 1Bell PepperFilter Results17 entriesDish FamilyAllAmerican Salads (1)European Dips and Spreads (1)European Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (2)European Sandwiches (1)European Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (4)Latin American and Caribbean Soups (1)Middle Eastern and North African Dips and Spreads (1)Middle Eastern Salads (2)North American Rice and Grain Dishes (1)North American Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (2)Stuffed and Filled Vegetable Dishes (1)CuisineAllAlbanian Cuisine (1)American Cuisine (1)Basque Cuisine (2)British Cuisine (1)Egyptian Cuisine (1)French Cuisine (2)Greek Cuisine (1)Israeli Cuisine (1)Louisiana Creole Cuisine (3)Mexican Cuisine (1)Moroccan Cuisine (1)Spanish Cuisine (1)Turkish Cuisine (2)Era (Origin Period)All1800 (1)1910 (1)TraditionAllMezze (2)Street Food Culture (1)Tapas Culture (1)Format/TypeAllAmerican Salads (1)European Dips and Spreads (1)European Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (2)European Sandwiches (1)European Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (4)Latin American and Caribbean Soups (1)Middle Eastern and North African Dips and Spreads (1)Middle Eastern Salads (2)North American Rice and Grain Dishes (1)North American Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (2)Stuffed and Filled Vegetable Dishes (1)CourseAllAppetizer (1)Condiment or Dip (2)Side Dish (1)Soup (1)Dietary SuitabilityAllContains Dairy or Egg (2)Contains Fish or Shellfish (3)Origin RegionAllAlbania (1)Andalusia (1)France (2)Greece (1)Israel (1)Latin America (1)Morocco (1)Spain (1)The Basque Country (1)Turkey (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (4)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 17Celery VictorBell PepperÇoban salatasıBell PepperFërgesëBell PepperIsraeli SaladBell PepperMaque chouxBell PepperPan BagnatBell PepperPatatas a lo pobreBell PepperPiperadeBell PepperRatatouilleBell PepperRed beans and riceBell PepperSalt and pepper chipsBell PepperShrimp creoleBell PepperSopa de mondongoBell PepperStuffed PeppersBell PepperTaktoukaBell PepperTirokafteriBell PepperTuna potBell PepperConnectionsUsed ByCelery Victor, Dishes Well-attested Source Celery Victor (Wikipedia)Çoban salatası, Dishes Well-attested Source Çoban salatası (Wikipedia)Fërgesë, Dishes Well-attested Source Fërgesë (Wikipedia)Israeli Salad, Dishes Well-attested Source Israeli salad (Wikipedia)Maque choux, Dishes Well-attested Source Maque choux (Wikipedia)Pan Bagnat, Dishes Well-attested Source Pan bagnat (Wikipedia)Patatas a lo pobre, Dishes Well-attested Source Patatas a lo pobre (Wikipedia)Piperade, Dishes Well-attested Source Piperade (Wikipedia)Ratatouille, Dishes Well-attested Source Ratatouille (Wikipedia)tier 3Red beans and rice, Dishes Well-attested Source Red beans and rice (Wikipedia)Salt and pepper chips, Dishes Well-attested Source Salt and pepper chips (Wikipedia)Shrimp creole, Dishes Well-attested Source Shrimp creole (Wikipedia)Sopa de mondongo, Dishes Well-attested Source Sopa de mondongo (Wikipedia)Stuffed Peppers, Dishes Well-attested Source Stuffed peppers (Wikipedia)Taktouka, Dishes Well-attested Source Taktouka (Wikipedia)Tirokafteri, Dishes Well-attested Source Tirokafteri (Wikipedia)Tuna pot, Dishes Well-attested Source Tuna pot (Wikipedia)In the Other AtlasesOriginated InCentral AmericaAlso in Geography Atlas: where this subject originated.Source Wikipedia: Bell pepperMexicoAlso in Geography Atlas: where this subject originated.Source Wikipedia: Bell pepperSouth AmericaAlso in Geography Atlas: where this subject originated.Source Wikipedia: Bell pepperThe CaribbeanAlso in Geography Atlas: where this subject originated.Source Wikipedia: Bell pepperSources1.
