Receta Potato Salad for Two
Bell peppers have
been cultivated for more than 9000 years, with the earliest cultivation having
taken place in South and Central America.
While
the name "pepper" was given to this food by European colonizers of
North America who first came across it in the 1500 - 1600's and then
transported it back to Europe, the original name for this food in Spanish was pimiento.
Because
bell peppers can be grown in a variety of climates and are popular in cuisines
throughout the world, they can frequently be found on small farms in North
America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and
parts of Asia. In terms of commercial production, however, China has become by
far the largest producer of bell peppers and produced 14 million metric tons in
2007. At about 2 million metric tons, Mexico is the second largest commercial
producer, followed by the United States at approximately 1 million metric tons.
Within
the U.S., California and Florida are the largest bell pepper producing states.
(In terms of chili pepper production, however, New Mexico currently stands in
first place.) . The average U.S. adult consumes about 16 pounds of peppers per
year, including almost 9.5 pounds of bell peppers.
This
potato salad is an “oldie but goodie” that’s sure to be a family favorite.
