About this product
El Sabor White Chuno is a dried white potato from Peru, also known as Chuno blanco or 'Tunta'. Chuno is one of the oldest foods in the world and comes from the high mountains of Peru. It is widely eaten in Bolivian cuisine.
In the Peruvian Andes, the extreme temperatures let the potatoes freeze outside at night. They are then dried in the sunlight. This method is called freeze-drying: it preserves the flavour and makes the potatoes keep for longer. If the potatoes are washed with water during the process, they turn white and are called white Chuno. Black chuno is not washed, but frozen and then sun-dried.
