Mashua: Cultural Considerations | Planting Guidelines | Where to Buy | More



Want to grow rare and delicious foods? Here is an open source mashua hub to help you: Mashua is one of a complex of traditional root crops from high elevations in the Andes mountains. They are adapted to cold dry climates but may require frost protection in the autumn, since the tubers do not begin to form until after the equinox. The tubers are usually pale, white, or yellow and sometimes striped with purple or red. They are rather peppery in flavor when raw, but this quality disappears when cooked.
