Uno de los aspectos más interesantes y únicos acerca de los alimentos de un área son las especies que sólo crecen allí. Como dice Manrique, alimentos como la maca fueron utilizados históricamente por los nativos peruanos como los incas. Sin embargo, Perú adoptó muchos estilos europeos por su comida, y pérdida su singularidad, hasta que el chef Gastón Acurio descubrió las posibilidades de la comida peruana. Estas especies especiales, especialmente las patatas, deben han salvado para las generaciones futuras. Perú es el hogar de la papa. Las personas interesadas en la conservación de alimentos deben trabajar para asegurar que estos alimentos no desaparecen.

when i think of peru i did not think of potatos and i never know that they came from there too. it is very interesting to see how much the people in peru work for their crops. It is amazing that they have different types of potatos peru too. its amazing all the hard work the people put into growing the crops. The crops do not look like normal crops that we have in america which was werid but it says that they are very good for you. it very interesting that there are 700 different types in this country. i learned a lot form this article and i really enjoyed it.

I thought this article was really interesting. I learned a lot! I had no idea that potatoes were from Peru. I thought that they were from Ireland because I know that it’s common for the Irish to eat potatoes with their meals. I also learned that the plants that are grown in Peru grow 4500 meters above sea level and no other plant can grow there. By just looking at them, I would think that the crops don’t taste that good. But they are actually very good for you. Some of them have a lot of protein and antioxidants and many people in the US are in search of foods that have both of those because they are so healthy. Maybe that’s why, as the article said, Peruvian food is becoming so popular in America.

Yo estaba sorprendida con aprender que la patata es de Peru! Siempre creia que era de Irlanda. Hay miles de diferentes tipos de patatas pero en mi vida yo nadamas visto como diez! Cuando yo vi por primera vez la foto de las “tubers” yo creia que eran unos lápices de colores. Es muy interesante que la gente de Peru saquen esa patata bella de la tierra para comer. Yo quiero ver una en persona, quizas probarla!

No pensé que las patatas cuando pensé de Perú. Es muy interesante que haya más de 700 tipos de patatas en Perú y de muchos colores diferentes. Creo que es muy interesante que los peruanos no aceptar la diversidad en comida en su país. Me gusta que el chef, Acurio, se aproveche las comidas locales y cocinar en nuevas maneras a atraer gente a su restaurante. Creo que esto es bueno para los peruanos a preservar su biodiversidad de comida.

Este artículo
es muy interesante. Antes de yo leo, no sé
que Perú es famoso por sus patatas. Es asombroso
que haya más de 700 tipos de patatas. ¡Es increíble! No sabía que hay más de cuatro o cinco tipos
en general. ¡Quiero ver una patata amarillo o
rojo! La comida de Perú es muy
interesante porque la gente tiene muchos tipos de patatas para usar en su
comida. ¡Es bueno que la gente de otros países
sepa de la comida y cultura de Perú!

¡El artículo y el video son muy interesantes! Yo no sabía que el Perú es famoso para las patatas. El artículo dice que “Perú tiene una de las culturas alimentarias de los más variados en el mundo”. ¡Yo no sabía este hecho! Ademas, las patatas en el video son de muchos colores. Las patatas son rojas, amarillas, blancas, naranjas, y moradas. También, las patatas son muy nutritivas: tienen vitaminas y proteínas. Los cocineros en el Perú están encontrando nuevas maneras de cocinar estas patatas. Ademas, otra nueva tipa de comida es la fruta “camu camu”. Esta fruta se utiliza en el yogur y otras comidas. ¡La comida en Perú es muy interesante y única!

I find it interesting that the roots are used for medical reasons and I had no idea that potatoes were originated in Peru, I would’ve guessed Ireland ! It’s also must be difficult for farmers to grow crops in Peru considering the many different temperatures Peru has to face and the rain. I find it cool adn amazing how some roots can be different colors like fuchsia and oranges. Some names of the roots are oca, olluca, and mushua, they are also edible and come in different shapes and sizes. There are also over 500 different types in the country of Peru.

I didn’t know that potatoes originated in Peru, they are so common here in the United States I never would have guessed they came from another country. Its cool to see that all these people are working hard to get their food. They have to dig into the ground to get the edible roots, which are really cool because they are all sorts of colors and shapes. They are called Oca, Olluco, and Mushua. There are almost 500 different types of Ocas, and each one is different. They all are usefull in different was, whether its for vitamins or medicinal use. It’s also cool how they are trrying to keep a diversity in all the foods there, everything that they mentioned I have never even heard of. It’s interesting how in each counrty we get our foods a different way, and our foods are so different.

Pienso que este artículo era muy interesante. Antes de lo leo, no sabía que el patata es de Perú, y no sabía que Perú es famoso por la agricultura. Hay más de 700 tipos de patata en Perú; es un hecho increíble. ¿Quién sabía? Es interesante que las patatas sean colores diferentes. ¡Unas patatas son rojas y amarillas! Me gusta cuando el hombre en el video dijo que las patatas son oros de arte. Es verdad, las patatas son tan únicas e interesantes como oros de arte. Pienso que la variedad de agricultura en Perú es una característica importante del país, y los campesinos deben continuar a aceptan la cultura de Perú sin toman la cultura de Europa.

I did not know that most people think potatoe when they think about the food from Peru. I never knew that potatoes originated in Peru and that there were thousnads of different typesin the country.I found it interesting that local men and women would rip into a patch of dark soul and yank up “tubers” in different colors, like fuchsia to dark orange to dark purple. Its amazing that they are among 700 hundred varieties of Peruvian crops known as Oca, Olluco and Mushua. I find it so interesting that they did DNA studies and found that each one is different. I thought this article was really interesting.

Es interesante porque yo no pienso de Peru como un pais con sus propios “tipo” de comida. En esta parte de los estados unidos, nosotros no oimos de comida de Peru. Chino, mexicano, italiano, si. Pero no desde peruana. Los cocineros de Peru tienen un responsibilidad grande a usan todos los recursos disponible en la pais, y honran el unicidad de la tierra. Es importante que ellos usan lo que tienen, mientras tienen lo.
