La description
The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial
nightshade Solanum tuberosum. The word "potato" may refer either to
the plant itself or to the edible tuber.
[2] In the Andes, where the species is indigenous, some other
closely related species are cultivated. Potatoes were introduced to
Europe in the second half of the *6th century by the Spanish.
Potato has become a staple food in many parts of the world and an
integral part of much of the world's food supply. It is the world's
fourth-largest food crop, following maize, wheat, and rice.
[3] The green leaves and green skins of tubers exposed to the light
are toxic.
Wild potato species can be found throughout the Americas from the
United States to southern Chile.
[4] The potato was originally believed to have been domesticated
independently in multiple locations,
[5] but later genetic testing of the wide variety of cultivars and
wild species proved a single origin for potatoes in the area of
present-day southern Peru and extreme northwestern Bolivia (from a
species in the Solanum brevicaule complex), where they were
domesticated approximately 7,****0,**0 years ago.
[6]Following millennia of selective breeding, there are now over a
thousand different types of potatoes.
[7] Over *9% of the presently cultivated potatoes worldwide
descended from varieties that originated in the lowlands of
south-central Chile, which have displaced formerly popular
varieties from the Andes.[9][*0]
However, the local importance of the potato is variable and
changing rapidly. It remains an essential crop in Europe
(especially eastern and central Europe), where per capita
production is still the highest in the world, but the most rapid
expansion over the past few decades has occurred in southern and
eastern Asia. As of ***4, China led the world in potato production,
and, together with India, produced *7% of the world's potatoes.[*1]
