Description
Maca is a cruciferous vegetable that is native to Peru, often touted as a 'superfood' for its strong nutritional profile. Its root is the edible part of the vegetable that looks quite similar to a cross between a parsnip and a radish with green leaf tops. It comes in three different varieties, yellow, red and black maca roots. Organic Raw Maca Powder is prepared from sun-dried maca root, ground to a fine powder. It is stirred, sprinkled, and added into a variety of foods.
