Maca is a heart shaped root vegetable from the brassicaceae family (also includes broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage) that looks like a turnip but grows like a sweet potato. Our maca is authentic Peruvian maca - the birthplace of maca and still where the finest quality maca grows. The best maca grows at high altitude in the central Andes where it survives unforgiving conditions such as rocky soils, icy temperatures, strong winds and extreme sunlight. This harsh habitat is what makes maca thrive and produces the most potent maca with the most nutritional benefits. Maca roots are hand harvested and sundried then gently ground into a fine powder. Our maca never undergoes high temperature processing and is considered raw. Our Maca supplier is Fair Trade certified ensuring that our farmer partners and their families are supported.
