Chez la souris, le piment (la capsaïcine en particulier) pourrait permettre une perte de poids en cas d' obésité [17 ] , [18 ]. If you’ve ever toured around the French Basque region, you’ve likely seen bunches of bright-red chili peppers draped and drying on the whitewashed walls of quaint red-shuttered Basque homes. And you undoubtedly tasted these peppers in the cuisine of the region.

Christopher Columbus became aware of allspice on his second New World voyage, and the plant soon became part of European diets. [9] At the time, it was found only on the island of Jamaica, where birds readily spread the seeds. To protect the pimenta trade, Jamaican growers guarded against export of the plant. Many attempts at growing the pimenta from seeds were reported, but all failed. Eventually, passage through the avian digestive tract, whether due to the acidity or the elevated temperature, was found to be essential for germinating the seeds, [10] and successful germination elsewhere was enabled. Today, pimenta grows in Tonga and in Hawaii, where it has become naturalized on Kauaʻi and Maui. [11] Jamaica remains the leading source of the plant, although some is grown by other countries in the same region.

Kiple et al., 2000 - The Cambridge World History of Food, Cambridge University Press, p.285: « Capsicums have a lot to recommend them nutritionally. By weight, they contain more vitamin A than any other food plant, and they are also a good source of the B vitamins. When eaten raw, capsicums are superior to citrus in providing vitamin C, although their production of vitamin C diminishes with maturity and drying and (as in all plant foods) is destroyed by exposure to oxygen. By contrast, vitamin A increases as peppers mature and dry and is not affected by exposure to oxygen. Capsicums also contain significant amounts of magnesium and iron.».
