Maca Powder Organic 8oz Single Pack

To Andean Indians, organic maca is a highly valuable commodity. Maca is also a favorite of raw-foodists, vegetarians, adventurers, extreme athletes, dessert chefs and food alchemists. Instead of coffee or tea for your morning pick-me-up, try blending a spoonful into a smoothie, or mix with cacao powder for an amazing energizing effect. Our organically grown Maca comes from a pristine Peruvian valley, where it is grown under strict, certified-organic, USDA/NOP standards. Although unrelated to ginseng, organic maca is often referred to as Peruvian ginseng because of its similar properties. The delightfully fragrant powder is rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and iron, and contains trace minerals, including zinc, iodine, copper, selenium, bismuth, manganese and silica, as well as B vitamins. Our Organic Maca Root powder, which has a somewhat nutty taste, blends well with cereals, ice creams, juices, milks, yogurts, pies, cakes, smoothies, cookie fillings and desserts and can be added to a variety of recipes. 2-3 teaspoons per day is the suggested use of the powder.
