Maca Root Powder

Maca Root Powder (Lepidium meyenii)

Native to the high Andes of Peru, maca has been cultivated for more than 2,000 years as both a nourishing food and traditional adaptogenic herb. Often called "Peruvian ginseng," this resilient root thrives at elevations above 11,000 feet, where few other crops can survive, and has long been a staple food of the Quechua people. Prized for its naturally nutritive qualities, maca is enjoyed in Peru in porridges, baked goods, beverages, and other traditional foods. Our finely milled maca root powder blends easily into smoothies, coffee, tea, baked goods, herbal formulations, or can be encapsulated for convenient daily use.
