Chuño

Chuño flour is made from chuño, a traditional Andean freeze-dried potato. It has a fine, powdery texture and a mild, earthy flavor. Commonly used as a thickener in soups, stews, and sauces, chuño flour is also incorporated into traditional Andean breads and pastries. It is valued for its long shelf life and nutritional properties, making it a staple in highland Peruvian cuisine.
