Today's novoandina cuisine has brought such humble Andean food crops as quinoa, kiwicha tarwi, and arracacha to the fore in the most sophisticated culinary endeavors.
In the Andes of Peru, for instance, peasant farmers continue to grow thousands of traditional varieties -- or "landraces" -- of potatoes, corn, and peppers, as well as lesser-known crops such as quinoa (a grain), ulluco (a multihued tuber that thrives at altitudes over 4000 meters), and tarwi (a bean related to the lupine flower).
The success of these experiments can be seen from the fact that quinoa - a grain-is now being grown in the USA, oca - a tuber-is popular in New Zealand, tarwi - a grain legume-is catching attention in Eastern Europe and cherimoya - a fruit - is an important crop in Spain.
