Chili
`````
peppers, native to South and Central America, are noted for
their hot flavor.
They were domesticated in Mexico over 6,000 years ago.
In early civilisations, chili peppers were used as a form of
currency.
While they may irritate us, birds are immune to the effects
and are largely responsible for helping wild peppers spread.

``````
are native to the Americas, generally living
in dry places that are prone to drought.

them from animals who would love to have
access to the water the cactus collects

inside.
