Sunfood Raw Organic Maca Powder, 8 oz.

Certified Organic Maca Powder Maca is a root vegetable grown in the Peruvian Andes. 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. The Sunfood Difference™ Our maca is grown at high elevations in areas untouched by pollution where it is sun-dried & 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. All About Maca Powder There are many products on the market that claim to provide health benefits and improve energy, but if you are looking for a product that can deliver all of that and more, consider adding maca powder to your health food diet. Organic maca powder, which is derived from the maca root, and originates in Peru, is known to have stress-reducing properties, as well as many other health benefits. Maca is a high-quality source of many nutrients that our bodies need including fiber, calcium, iron, amino acids, as well as (not on nutrition facts)magnesium. Magnesium is known to help with rest and recovery associated with sports injuries, as well as everyday life. Because maca has a sweet flavor, it is commonly used as a supplement in smoothies, yogurts, milkshakes and more to boost protein and fiber levels in a balanced diet. The overall flavor of the maca powder has a hint of butterscotch, which is easy to enjoy in all of your favorite meals, and even desserts. Suggested use: Add 1-2 teaspoons of maca powder to smoothies, or try in your favorite recipe! Mix it into teas, nut milks, coffee, protein drinks, or just about any natural beverage you can think of. Maca is also a great addition to dessert creations, homemade jams, broths and puddings. Maca has an unusual relationship with cacao nibs and all cacao products in general.
