In ancient Inca civilization, kitchens played a vital role in daily life, and indoor vegetable gardens were a common feature. These gardens were designed to make the most of limited space and often utilized vertical gardening techniques. The Incas grew a variety of vegetables, including potatoes, quinoa, and peppers, in these indoor gardens. The vegetables provided a sustainable source of food for the Inca people and were used in various traditional dishes, such as quinoa stew and potato-based dishes.
