Maca, also called Lepidium peruvuanum or Lepidium meyeni, has been an important traditional food and medicinal plant in Peru for the last 2000 years. The plant grows between 13,000 and 14,500 feet above the sea level on the high Andean plateaus of Peru.

Effects
The nutritional value of dried maca root is high, similar to cereal grains such as rice and wheat. Positive effects of the plant such as stimulating and increasing sexual performance could be due to this high concentration of proteins and nutrients.

Usage
Maca powder can be excellently used in smoothies, nut milks, malts, cakes, juices, chai tea, or baked goods. But to benefit from its qualities, mixing maca with hot or cold water is just as fine. In the Andes, as much as a pound of fresh and/or dried maca root is eaten as food on a single day. In herbal medicine; powders are generally recommended at dosages of 5-20 g daily. Store in a cool and dry place and avoid excessive exposure to heat, moisture and direct sunlight.
