Chiar Choque Pitu – True Potato Seeds (TPS)

Overview
Chiar Choque Pitu is a rare and heritage true potato seed (TPS) variety belonging to the species Solanum curtilobum, a frost-resistant pentaploid potato native to the high-altitude growing zones of Bolivia and Peru. Chiar Choque Pitu offers a unique combination of agricultural resilience and culinary versatility, making it a valuable addition to any specialty seed collection. Its tubers feature moderately dense flesh, a thick chewy skin, and mildly bitter flavor notes, lending themselves to both traditional preservation methods and fresh consumption.

Key Features
• Unique Texture & Flavor: Features moderately dense flesh with a thick, pleasantly chewy skin and subtle bitter notes that add character to specialty dishes.
• High Yielding: Consistently produces abundant harvests under challenging growing conditions, ensuring reliable productivity season after season.
• Multi-Purpose Use: Suitable for a wide range of culinary applications – enjoy it fresh, boil or roast it, or process it into traditional freeze-dried flour (chuño).

Growing Instructions
• Soil: Requires well-drained, loamy soil rich in organic matter. A slightly acidic pH between 5.5 and 6.5 is ideal for optimal tuber development.
• Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering as the plants mature and foliage begins to yellow.
• Harvest: Tubers are typically ready for harvest 120–150 days after transplanting, once the foliage has completely died back. Cure in a cool, dark, well-ventilated area for 1–2 weeks before storage.

Why Choose Chiar Choque Pitu?
Its remarkable frost tolerance allows you to extend your growing season and cultivate potatoes in regions where conventional varieties fail to survive. The high-yield potential ensures that even in marginal soils and harsh climates, you can expect a rewarding harvest. This cultivar offers unmatched culinary diversity – from traditional Andean chuño production to contemporary gourmet kitchens, its dense flesh and chewy texture elevate every dish.
