A potent superfood and adaptogen. This organic maca is carefully hand-selected and milled into a powder to preserve the integrity of this precious root. This arid mountain food has been consumed for ages in central region of the Andes: in the pre-Incan age, it was considered as a gift from the gods and offered to them in many of their ceremonies.
Part of the native Peruvian biodiversity, Maca is a very special root cultivated in the high Andes. Maca is an adaptogen, which means it strengthens the body by providing it with defense mechanisms to fight against stress and fatigue. It is also a great source of plant-based protein, fibre, iron and vitamin C. The Incas recognized its benefits, using it to improve physical and mental performance.
This organic maca comes from a very resilient and adaptable tubercule that grows in the high Andean mountains of Peru, between 3,800 and 4,200 meters above sea levels. The carefully hand-selected maca is ground into a fine, silky smooth powder.
