History of the Potato

from History Shorts · host History Shorts

The potato, native to South America and domesticated by indigenous peoples thousands of years ago, was brought over to Europe by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century. Funny, how one starchy vegetable ( although some still dispute that claim) took the world by storm - sustaining populations, shaping economies, and influencing cultural practices. https://www.patreon.com/c/HistoryShortsPodcast CONNECT @ X Facebook YouTube Find us at www.historyshortspodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.
