Maca Powder (Organic)

Out of stock

Often called “Peruvian Ginseng,” Maca is a unique root tuber with usage dating back to the mid-15th century. It requires very specific growing conditions, thriving only in the glaciated slopes of the Andes with a prime elevation between 12,000 and 15,000 feet above sea level. The tubers are round in shape with a yellowish brown color. The dried powder possesses a sweet aroma, reminiscent of butterscotch.

  • Maca is traditionally prepared as a food, particularly in the native region where it grows. The root is a highly nutritious staple food, rich in carbohydrates, protein, and a variety of essential minerals. In cuisine, the root is usually cooked and may be incorporated into dishes with other vegetables. Medicinally, maca powder is traditionally used to support healthy sexual function in men. While it does not appear to affect hormone levels, it has been shown to increase sexual desire and increase sperm production in some men.
