Description
Peru is home to over 3,000 native potato varieties — a genetic diversity that represents the most complete expression of the potato's original genetic pool in the world. Acurio's documentation of Peruvian potato diversity is one of the most important sections of Peru: The Cookbook — it reveals that what the world calls "potato" is a narrow selection from one of the most diverse food crops in existence. Papa amarilla, papa huayro, papa morada, papa seca (dried), chuño (freeze-dried) — each has a specific character and appropriate preparation method.
