EDITORS COMMENTS
Mashua, or Tuberous Nasturtium (Tropaeolum tuberosum), is a lesser-known edible tuber native to the Andes Mountains in South America. This handcoloured lithograph from the esteemed horticultural publication, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, showcases the unique beauty of this tuberous plant. The Mashua tuber, also known as Mascho or Cubio, is a versatile vegetable that has been cultivated for centuries by indigenous peoples of the Andes. It is a member of the nasturtium family, but unlike its more commonly known cousin, the edible nasturtium, Mashua is grown for its tuberous root rather than its leaves or flowers. The tubers are round to oval in shape, with a rough, brown exterior and a white, fleshy interior. They are typically boiled, roasted, or baked and have a distinctive nutty and slightly sweet taste. Mashua is a staple food in many Andean communities, and its high nutritional value makes it an important source of energy and sustenance. The intricate details of the Mashua plant are beautifully captured in this lithograph, with its vibrant yellow and red flowers and its sprawling, vine-like growth habit. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a true work of art as well as a valuable record of this fascinating plant. This exquisite representation of Mashua serves as a reminder of the rich diversity of the plant world and the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique culinary traditions of different cultures.
