Hmm, I ran a Jrustela game, and I have no idea! Probably whatever they brought from Seshnela (and the barbarian population probably brought Slontan crops).

As for potatoes, we know
[http://www.glorantha.com/library/prosopaedia/s.html#seven-mothers] that Lunar missionaries offer potato bread. I figured the potato was likely grown in Peloria. The population density and terrain of Anadikki suggested they don't plow, so I leaped to the conclusion that the Anadikkings practice hoe cultivation of potatoes.

IMG, they worship primarily the gods introduced by the Theyalan missionaries. There is no goddess of potatoes in the Heortling pantheon, so Esrola adopted the potato spirits. So her family now includes these spirits: Blue Potato, Destroy Ten-Striped Spearman, Potato Hiding, Purple Potato, Yellow Potato
