This organic super food delivers a beneficial amount of plant-based protein. A number of important fatty acids and essential amino acids (of which 18 out of 20 are present) are also present. Maca also contains energy boosting and immune revitalising Vitamins B1, 2, and 3, along with small quantities of C, E, and B6.
Maca is a root vegetable similar in appearance to sweet potato. Like Sweet Potato, it comes in a few different colour varieties (but once it is grounded they all look more or less the same).
Maca root is available in Yellow, Red and Black and each colour appears to have slightly different strengths in terms of the benefits it provides:
Start with one teaspoon and work up to two teaspoons (3.5 grams) gradually. Add to your favourite smoothie, juice or a glass of water.
Our Maca is grown at 4200m above sea level in Junin, Peru. We purchase direct from the indigenous farmers who have been growing Maca in that region since before recorded time. The farmers sun dry the Maca and then ground into a fine powder, at no point are any fillers or additives used. It is guaranteed premium quality and comes to you certified organic so you know it is free of pesticides, herbicides and radiation.
Please be careful who you buy your Maca from. A lot of Peruvian Maca is now being shipped from China and the quality may be compromised. Our Maca is guaranteed to come direct from the growers in Peru.
The ancient Incans used maca root as far back as two thousand years ago, when it was revered not only as a staple crop, but as a potent medicinal herb. Folktales about this high nutrient food describe how Incan warriors consumed large quantities of the product before going into battle to increase energy and strength.
Great quality product (eg notice difference in energy level), awesome service (eg quick turnaround). This is at least my third reorder … and since passing onto other family members for the various benefits of red maca root. Thanks Forest Super Foods
I love mixing the Red Maca into smoothies with banana. It tastes fantastic and I know all my nutritonal needs are being covered by incorporating it into my diet. I feel great afterwards. This is straight out of Peru 4,200m high in the mountains and is high in potassium so its great after a big night out too!
Love it as well in my smoothies
Fantastic
Will be getting more of this product when l run out
I’ve been using this for several months in my smoothies every day and feel it’s been a noticeable support for peri-menopause (in conjunction with some other herbs). The Peruvians know what’s up in plant medicines which is why I choose this product, plus Forest Super Foods quality and purity assurance.
Still trying
