Description
Organic Maca Powder
Maca, also known as Peruvian ginseng, is a plant that grows in central Peru in the high plateaus of the Andes Mountains. It has been cultivated as a vegetable crop in this area for at least 3000 years. Maca is a relative of the radish and has an odor similar to butterscotch.
The main edible part of Maca is the root, which grows beneath the ground. Maca root is generally dried and consumed in powder form, but it’s also available in capsules and as a liquid extract.
Our organic Maca powder is finely milled whole Maca root that has been slow-dried at low temperatures. Maca has a pungent and sweet nutty taste with hints of butterscotch. It can be mixed easily into smoothies, shakes and juices, and it can also be added to desserts and baked goods. Add some to your favorite pancake batter to create an energizing breakfast.
