Food

=Food of the Incas= =by Thanh=

The Inca can control their empire by using power of food. How can food do that? Because the Incas maintain storehouses of food around the empire, so when the army traveled there, they always have food available. The main food the Incas ate are: potatoes and corns. The Incas knew how to keep potatoes unspoiled for along time. They developed the earliest type of freeze – drying for potatoes, after the Inca do it they can keep potatoes up for one year. This dried potato in knew as chuno. [The potato and corn is from the Inca empire.]
