Sweet potatoes were grown in Peru as far back as 8,000 BC. They had most likely been spread by local people to the Caribbean and South America by 2,500 BC. Sweet potatoes were also grown in the Cook Islands by 1,000 AD, possibly by Polynesians who had traveled to South America and back, and they spread across Polynesia to Hawaii and New Zealand from there. Sweet potatoes are now cultivated throughout tropical and warm temperate regions wherever there is sufficient water to support their growth.
