Historical origin:
Potato is native to the Andes Mountains of South America. The history of artificial cultivation can be traced back to the southern region of Peru between 8000 and 5000 BC. The Andes Mountains are located above an altitude of 3800 meters. The Lake Titicaca area may be the first place where potatoes were cultivated. About 7,000 years ago, an Indian tribe migrated from the east to the alpine Andes Mountains and set up camp near the Lake Titicaca area, making a living by hunting and gathering. Wild potatoes were first discovered and eaten.
The most important cultivated potato is the tetraploid cultivated potato, which spread throughout the world and was first introduced from Colombia in South America in 1570. The sunshine type was introduced to Spain in Europe and became the long-sun type after artificial selection.
In the mid-16th century, potatoes were brought to Europe from South America and then successively brought to Britain, France, and Ireland. .
By the 17th century, potatoes had become an important food crop in Europe and had spread to China. Because potatoes were very suitable for growing in high altitudes where grain yields were extremely low and only oats (?naked oats) could grow. It grew in the region and soon became popular in Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Shanxi, and northern Shaanxi. Potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and other high-yielding crops introduced from the Americas became the main food of the poor and played an important role in maintaining the rapid increase in China's population.
