Superfood of the Inca! Grown high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, Maca (Lepidium meyenii) has been used by the Inca and earlier Peruvian cultures for more than 1,500 years. For maximum health benefits, our Maca powder is a blend of a multitude of maca root colors found naturally in each harvest. It is grown without chemicals or herbicides, and the roots are sun-dried upon harvest. Our Maca is processed in to powder using low temperatures to protect the nutritional value. The temperature reached is close to 40 degrees Celsius. At that temperature, many consider it to be raw while others believe it to be cooked. Organic, Kosher Certified and Gluten-Free.
