Why are chilli peppers so popular around the world but no so much in the US?

Chilli peppers originated in the Americas, but I am surprised as to why it is not a major part of the US diet. I think countries that use them most in their every day cooking are those in south America, Africa and the southeast asia.

The nutritional and health benefits are incredible. The list is quite long. One little story that Hillary Clinton often repeated in her interviews during her campaign was the fact that her regular intake of chilli peppers had helped her ward off colds and viruses.

People who are afraid of chillis should definitely give it a shot. It is not the reason for acid-reflex, they do not cause acidity as some people may have been led to believe. They are not the reason for ulcers either. What chillis do is add spice to a boring, bland diet, and enhance everything in a positive way. Try it, you'll like it.
