Hello!

The answer is Potatoes (papas).

Why?

According to history, potatoes, one of the world's most popular vegetables were first cultivated in Peru (South America). It's known that the earliest potatoes remain dates from about 400 B.C.

The Inca Empire was discovered by the Spanish in 1528 when the Incas introduced them to a variety of potatoes.

Have a nice day!
