Peru Grows Thousands of Kinds of Potatoes
Did you know the potato was first domesticated in the Peruvian Andes around 8,000 years ago — and Peru still grows over 4,000 native varieties? They come purple, red, yellow, knobbly and finger-shaped, many thriving only at specific altitudes. Andean markets sell kinds of potato most of the world has never seen.
