Pepper and sugar were known and used by Europeans before the American Discovery, but Tomato was known since the Explorers visited the Americas. Coffee bean, was introduced in Europe nearly at the same period of time but it doesn't proceed from America.

Pepper comes from India and was introduced in Greece for the first time by Alexander the Great. The Byzantine empire was in charge for many years of importing it to Europe.

Sugar comes from New Guinea, was transferred to India and then to China where it began to crystallize at the initiative of the Buddhist monks. Alexander the Great introduced him to Europe on the return of his travels and the Crusaders were in charge of spreading it in greater proportion during the Middle Ages.

Coffee bean comes from Ethiopia, its consumption spread and spread first in the Arab world and was introduced in Europe by Italian monks and Venetian merchants during the seventeenth century.
