🌿 Maca Root Raw Powder | Lepidium meyenii | Peruvian Maca

Finely milled raw maca root powder with a naturally earthy, malty flavour.

🌍 History & Background

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a hardy root vegetable native to the high Andes of Peru, where it grows at altitudes above 3,500 metres. A relative of the radish and turnip, it has been cultivated by Andean communities for centuries as a staple food crop — traditionally dried and ground into flour, cooked into porridges and brewed into drinks.

Sometimes called “Peruvian ginseng”, maca is not related to true ginseng but is a member of the cabbage family.
