Sourced from a South American root vegetable called maca, Organic Maca Powder is a vegan superfood. It is grown on modest, family-run farms, where the roots are collected with care, dried slowly, and ground at low temperatures to preserve the essential nutrients. Maca has been used for hundreds of years in South American cultures. Perfect for a gluten-free diet, maca powder has a malty and nutty flavor and is a great addition to milkshakes, smoothies, cereals, desserts, baked goods, and even warm morning coffee.
