It has been one of my staple Superfoods ever since. My relationship with Maca has been one of pure consistent Love — like a great marriage.” ~ David Wolfe\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaca (Lepidium meyenii) is a member of the cruciferous family of plants which includes such wonders as: broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, Brussells sprouts, and radishes. It's grown for its root, which resembles that of the radish. The character and properties of maca have been developed by the extreme conditions under which it grows, which makes maca an excellent superfood choice for individuals living in cooler climates, at high altitudes and\/or with adventurous lifestyles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAccording to archeological evidence, maca has been cultivated and grown high in the Peruvian Andes of South America for approximately 2,600 years. Some of the earliest written Spanish records from the Andes are treatises on maca. Today, the Quechua people and the descendants of the Inca, continue to grow this superfood at its natural altitude of 9,000-10,000 feet (2750-3050 meters) above sea level and as high as 14,000 feet (4250 meters), making maca the highest-altitude crop on Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaca is sacred to the descendants of the Inca and the Quechua people who still inhabit present-day Peru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur maca is sun-dried and finely milled at low temperatures to produce fresh batches of maca powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis product is not an extract.
