Sunfood Maca Powder 8oz / 227G Raw Organic

Certified Organic Maca Powder

Maca is a root vegetable grown in the Peruvian Andes at elevations of 14,000 feet. Maca is one of the few plants that can grow in such a harsh and inhospitable climate. It was sacred to the Incas and has been used as a food and medicine in South America for centuries. It is well known for its ability to help enhance strength and endurance. In fact, Incan warriors would often consume maca before long journeys and battles. Today’s athletes are confirming what history has to say about this incredible superfood.

Maca is an adaptogenic herb known for its ability to help the body adapt to stress factors, support hormone balance, provide natural energy & increase athletic performance.

Our maca is grown only at high elevations in Peru, in areas untouched by pollution where it is sun-dried and low-temperature processed into a fine powder. Inferior maca products are grown at lower elevations and processed at higher temperatures. Sunfood maca powder has a unique nutty flavor that goes well with sweet or savory dishes.

Authentic Peruvian Maca: Sunfood only purchases and sells 100% authentic Peruvian Maca from the Junín Plateau and will never purchase or sell maca grown in China.
