Maca is a nutritionally dense root, commonly available in powder form. Maca has been used for thousands of years by the peoples of the Andes as a staple food. Its ability to grow at elevations between 4,000 m (13,123 ft) and 4,500 m (14,764 ft) are what makes this plant so special. It thrives there because the extreme environment (freezing temperatures, hard sunlight, constant high winds) favors those plants that reside mostly underground, hence maca and papas (commonly known as potatoes). Benefits: Chinese Medicine views this as a warm food.
