The potato goes back in time—way back to native tribes in the Andes almost 10,000 years ago. And today, Peru is the potato capital of the world, with amazing diversity in potatoes. There you’ll find them in all shapes, sizes and colors imaginable. The earliest farming of potatoes, however, began in about 1400 BC in the same region. Thanks to their hardiness, potatoes were a great crop in the mountainous regions of Peru, where wheat and corn could not thrive.
In about 1570, the Spanish brought potatoes back to Europe. Sailors loved them for their protection again scurvy (thanks to their high vitamin C content) and back in their homeland, they took off like wild-fire and become a low-cost staple for people everywhere.
