/CHU-nyo/
A black freeze-dried potato dehydrated by the extreme Andean cold and sun — preserved for years without spoiling. In Bolivia and Peru, chuño is a millennia-old ingredient that outlasted empires and still goes in the pot.
"The chairo uses chuño soaked since the night before."
"Without chuño you can't make a proper Andean stew."
