What Customers Say About The Lost Crops of the Incas: Little-known Plants of the Andes With Promise for Worldwide Cultivation:

The book is a little dry, but you'd expect that from something by the National Research Council. No. The information within is concise, well-organized and extremely impressive. Have you ever heard of Tarwi before. Well it could be the next big bean to replace soy. It just needs a little R & D.
I found this book full of very useful information of food plants from the high altitudes of the Andes. The book also has lower altitude plants used by the Incas.
