Descriptions

First cultivated by the Incas, the potato (Solanum tuberosum of the genus Solanium) is a perennial plant of the Solanaceae, or nightshade, family, commonly grown for its starchy tuber. Solanine is found in the green parts of the plant. Potatoes are the world's most widely grown tuber crop, and the fourth largest crop in terms of fresh produce (after rice, wheat, and maize), but this ranking is inflated due to the high water content of fresh potatoes relative to that of other crops.
