We have learned from the ancestors of our grandparents
We continued the sowing and
we have been doing it for years
I started sowing when
I was fifteen years old
 
Firstly, we use the Andean foot plough also known as the chaquitaclla,
we plow a groove,
then we sow and
after seven months the potato harvest will be ready
We do not know  about fertilizers or chemicals
We know how to do it naturally
Everything we sow is harvested naturally
I like using products that are supplied directly by the farmer
because those are the products that have been through fewer actors in the supply chain
 
These products participate in a fair trade
Most of the time, these supplies do not use packages, which reduces the generation of plastic
since these products are  presented in their natural packages
At the same time,  the products are harvested differently in the field
which leads the products to acquire other flavors, textures, and nutrients
That is the reason why I think it is much better to work and use the farmer's products
 
There is a phrase that cooks say a lot:
Chilli peppers are the DNA of the Peruvian gastronomy
because they represent us vastly
In ancient Peru,  they used chili peppers for many things
They were very versatile
To this day, some people use chili peppers as pesticides, ointments or therapeutic treatments
For me, chili peppers are one of the most important aspects of Peruvian food
because it would not be what it is today without chili peppers
In Peru, we have learned how to use them not just for their spicy purposes, but
we have understood how to transform them in order to use their flavor
 
We enjoy their spiciness and know how to use them so that we can exploit the flavor in their pulp
 
This is accomplished thanks to ancestral and modern techniques
There are a whole science and mysticism behind the chili pepper
Now I know after doing some reading that the chili peppers
have been very important to our country
because they have been used as torture or therapeutic methods, hence,
they are extremely relevant for our economy and type of food
