That only makes sense from a Eurocentric viewpoint. Europeans were equally as unknown to the Americans. Sure, Spaniards and Portuguese introduced these foods to the world but the Americans discovered and then developed these crops. Describing it as anything other than that is ignorant.

Not discoveries. Trade and exchange. Native American civilizations discovered and then developed them into their edible modern staples.

Chilies are native to the Americas as are potatoes and tomatoes, which are part of the nightshade family. They were developed by the indegenous peoples as staple crops from their practically poisonous wild ancestors. There are over 2000 varieties of potatoes. When potatoes are first introduced to Europe some church authorities condemned them as Satanic because they are not mentioned in the Bible.
