A good starting point, IMHO, is the book _Lost Crops of the Incas_ (ISBN
0-309-04264-X) from the National Research Council. This report was
published in 1989 by the National Academy Press and is probably still in
print. I know the NAP has an 800 number, but I don't recall it. Check
http://wwq.att.com for their number.
