Detailed explanation-1: -The staples of the Incas included various plants with edible tubers and roots like potato and sweet potato, in hundreds of varieties.
Detailed explanation-2: -Freeze-drying was used on not only potatoes but other vegetables and even meats! Chuño and moraya are still produced to this day.
Detailed explanation-3: -As far as recorded history goes, the Incas were the first people to develop freeze-drying techniques. This consisted of taking advantage of freezing weather by leaving potatoes under a cloth overnight. The next day, the Incas would return to trample over the potatoes to squeeze out any excess moisture.
Detailed explanation-4: -How Do I Blanch Freeze Dried Potatoes? So, next I peeled russet potatoes, cubed them, put them into salt water as I went, so they didn’t turn dark. I blanched them for the recommended 3 minutes, strained and put them into cold water before placing them on trays to freeze dry..
