Maca is a small tuber native to the Andes, growing at over 3,500 meters above sea level. Its scientific name is Lepidium meyenii and it belongs to the botanical family Brassicaceae. Considered a superfood, maca is widely recognized for its invigorating and energizing effect. According to traditional knowledge, it also has aphrodisiac properties and is used to enhance physical and mental performance. Thanks to its high potassium content, it is attributed with a beneficial effect on blood pressure, helping to naturally control hypertension. This Andean tuber is rich in essential minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and iron, and provides B vitamins (B1 and B2), as well as vitamin E. Maca is sown at the end of winter and cultivated during the spring. In its powdered form, it has a flavor similar to malt, making it ideal for combining with ingredients like cocoa. Various scientific studies support its antioxidant properties, its ability to increase energy, and its overall revitalizing effect.
