👉 Candona is a type of potato that has been cultivated for thousands of years in various parts of Asia, Europe, and North America, including China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. It originated from the Chinese word "chá" (meaning potato) and was first cultivated in China around 10,500 years ago. Candonas are typically round or oblong-shaped, with a white outer skin that is often covered in a thin layer of white starch.
