Description
Maca powder - The queen of the Andes.
Maca is a root tuber and grows in the Peruvian Andes at an altitude of about 4000 meters. This plant has been a valuable food and medicinal crop for the indigenous population since 2000 BC. It was even used as a means of payment!
Maca powder contains a high level of proteins and all essential amino acids. It is rich in carbohydrates and vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B12, C, D and E. In addition, maca contains a high level of minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, iron, iodine, zinc, silicon, potassium, sodium, copper, manganese and phosphorus. It is not without reason that the Indians of Peru call maca the 'queen of the Andes' and traditionally eat it for more physical energy, stamina and libido.
