Another open source guide to foods you can grow yourself, but can’t buy in the grocery store: Mauka is a high-elevation extremely hardy crop used for its edible leaves, stems and tubers. It is tolerant of cold and windy exposed sites, can be intercropped with corn, and produces tubers that can be left in the ground from year to year. Said to be the rarest of the group known as the ‘lost crops of the Incas,’ Mauka has only been rediscovered in the past five decades. This open source guide includes cultural considerations, planting guidelines, and more.
