Sunfood Organic Raw Maca Powder, 1 Pound

Certified Organic Maca Powder: A Superfood from the Peruvian Andes

Maca, a root vegetable grown in the Peruvian Andes at elevations of 14,000 feet, is one of the few plants that can thrive in such a harsh and inhospitable climate. This remarkable superfood has been revered by the Incas and used as both a food and medicine in South America for centuries. Maca is renowned for its ability to enhance strength and endurance, with Incan warriors often consuming it before long journeys and battles. Today, athletes are rediscovering the incredible benefits of this ancient superfood.

Maca is an adaptogenic herb, meaning it has the ability to help the body adapt to various stress factors. It is known to support hormone balance, provide natural energy, and increase athletic performance. Sunfood's maca is grown only at high elevations in Peru, in areas untouched by pollution, and is sun-dried and low-temperature processed into a fine powder. This ensures that the maca retains its unique nutty flavor and all of its beneficial properties, unlike inferior maca products that are grown at lower elevations and processed at higher temperatures.

Authentic Peruvian Maca: Sunfood is committed to selling 100% authentic Peruvian maca from the Junín Plateau, and never purchases or sells maca grown in China. This commitment to quality and authenticity ensures that you receive the true benefits of this incredible superfood.
