You probably know maca as Peruvian ginseng, Peruvian Via*ra or the Queen of the Andes, but it's actually a root. Maca looks similar to a beet, but is actually one of the oldest plants in the world. Their production was concentrated at high altitudes in the South American Andes. The local people commonly use Maca to prepare various dishes, but also as a medicine. We find Maca in different variants, with each Maca variety having slightly different benefits. The most well-known is the yellow Maca, then there is a less common red and black Maca.
In this remarkable plant we mainly find many essential amino acids that the body cannot produce itself. Maca contains vitamins B1, B2, B6 and also vitamins C and E. Maca also has basic substances and minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, potassium and magnesium to a lesser extent.
The most common way of consuming maca root is in the form of dried powder. You can add the powder to a smoothie or any liquid. Maca powder is also suitable for adding to jams, puddings or porridge.
