+The '''mashua''' (see below for other names) is a [[perennial plant]] grown in the [[Andes]] for its edible [[tuber]], which is eaten as a [[root vegetable]]. It is a major food source there. The tuber is rather peppery in flavor<ref>[http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/11/24/HOFKT0IEM.DTL&hw=perennially&sc=237&sn=006 10 perennial veggies to grow, San Francisco Gate]</ref> when raw, but this quality disappears when cooked. It is related to garden nasturtiums, being of the ''[[Tropaeolum]]'' genus, not to be confused with the genus ''[[Nasturtium]]''.

+The plant grows vigorously even in marginal [[soil]]s and in the presence of [[weed]]s.  It is also well-adapted to high-altitude [[subsistence agriculture]], and gives high yields; 30 [[tonne]]s per [[hectare]] are yielded at a height of 3000 metres, but up to 70 tons per hectare have been produced under research conditions<ref name="siu">[http://www.siu.edu/~ebl/leaflets/mashua.htm Mashua Ethnobotanical Leaflet, Southern Illinois University]</ref>.
