Shownotes

For thousands of years, humans in the Americas have cultivated an extremely hot plant.
When it was transferred to the Old World, it transformed cuisines, inspired scientific measurements, and made some meals much, much, much hotter.

Its story stretches from the ancient Americas to kitchens on almost every continent.
