Superu Foods - Organic Maca Powder, 1 Pound (16 Oz)

Description

The maca root is native to Peru, specifically to the Peruvian Andes. It was discovered 2000 years ago and has been used ever since as a food by native Andean people due to its extraordinary nutritional value. This plant is also known as “Peruvian Ginseng” because of it fertility-enhancing and energy booster properties. It is rich in antioxidants, helps improve memory and concentration, and most importantly, helps strengthen the immune system. Nowadays, maca is commonly found as a dried fine powder and it is used as a supplement. People describe the taste of maca to be similar to caramel, malt, or nuts, and so it is used in cooking to make cakes, soup, jam; or in beverages by adding 1 tsp to juices, smoothies, warm drinks, and more.
