It’s Fun Fact Saturday! This week we share facts about our Four Corners Potato. The four corners potato (solanum jamesii) is documented as one of the most important cultural and nutritional food sources among Tribes. This nutrient rich potato has double the protein, zinc, and manganese, and triple the calcium and iron content compared to modern potatoes. This ancient nutritious tuber is drought resistant and can stay dormant for up to 6-8 years, and it still exists today because of indigenous land stewardship practices and sophisticated cultures within the Bears Ears region.According to researchers, potato starch granules were analyzed from a grinding stone dating back 10,900 years, confirming what Tribes have always known.It has been proven that Ancestral Pueblos traveled long distances to transport, trade, and steward these tubers in various locations of the Four Corners Region for millennia. Furthermore, there is evidence that indigenous farmers utilized various cooking and processing techniques such as boiling the potatoes, grinding them to make flour or yeast, and/or mixing the potatoes with clay to reduce bitterness.
