SINE

It is true a 2019 Chinese robot landed on the “far-side” of the moon, the side we can not see from earth, and did plant potatoes, but they lasted only one day because of extreme cold and no liquid water. Sweet potatoes are on the menu in Chinese space missions and are served in soup. Aura says sweet potatoes and white potatoes were not known outside America until Columbus. Sweet potatoes come from Yucatan and Venezuela where there is no freezing. But white potatoes come from Peru, where it freezes. China eats half the world's sweet potatoes, mostly in winter, when roast sweet potatoes are street food. Tong sui, sweet potato soup, is served in restaurants. So Chinese taikonauts have it pretty good.
