Maca is a plant that has been cultivated for centuries in Peru. It only grows in the high mountains at altitudes of over 3,500 metres
which give it special properties. The Incas used it for its nutritional value in their food. In the Peruvian language, the name Maca means: cultivated at altitude (MA) and (CA) food that strengthens.
Maca also has a delicious taste of nuts and caramel and is widely used in cooking.
