PERUVIAN POTATOES, the oldest product of the world. Page 1

Peruvians love their potatoes as they literary have thousands of varieties to choose from. During the time of the Incan empire, the armies were able to move freely over the mountains terrain and get dominion over the land thanks to the freeze dried potatoes stored at altitudes of more than 3,000 meters above the sea level.
Potatoes are still freeze dried much in the same way they have been done for many millennia. These freeze dried potatoes are high in nutrition level since they are nourished with spring water that come down from the glaciers and enhance the nutritional value of the mountain soil from where they come from.
Their light weight allowed them to be carried on the backs of the warriors and llamas as they moved through their empire. Climate conditions weakened the economies of coastal communities but the higher elevation of the Inca headquarters with ample rainfall and moisture gave them sufficient foodstuffs to help the areas suffering famine. The Incas were intelligent enough bargainers to offer food to any peoples who would accept their rule.
The Inca had five to seven years worth of food storage at any one time for all of the inhabitants of the empire.
