Nutritional Observations in Peru and the Amazon Valley
Peru might justly be called the "Mother of Modern Nutrition." No area of equal size in the world has produced so many foods for the maintenance of man, as Peru. Peru is the original home of more than twenty of the vegetables and fruits found on the American tables. The Medicinal Plants of Peru are no less well known. The super fertilizer "guano" (bird droppings) is the reason why Peru has been able to produce its incomparable variety of nutritious and delicious foods. For this one achievement, the world will be forever indebted to Ancient Peru.
