Maca root was highly valued by the Incas, the Spanish and the Peruvian Quechua people. The legend goes, that maca powder was taken by the Inca warriors before battle to grow their strength and endurance. The colonial Spanish government valued maca so much that they used it as a currency. Today, athletes use maca powder to help enhance their performance.
Maca root is one of the highest growing crops in the world. It thrives at heights of over 4000 metres and in extreme weather changes. Such growing conditions of the maca root enable it to develop its unique nutritional profile.
