Description
Spanish conquistadors brought the potato from South America to Europe in the 1500s. Since then, the potato has helped keep peasants from starving during times of famine, fed armies, and is today the world’s most popular vegetable. The Biography of Potatoes underlines the importance of this source of nutrition throughout human history.
