Organic Maca Powder

Maca is a plant which grows naturally at high-altitude, in the Peruvian Andes. For many centuries it has been a central part of local diets in Peru and Bolivia, where almost every part of the plant is used.

Also known as “Peruvian Ginseng”, Maca is a nutrition-packed root vegetable, flourishing in environments often 4000m above sea level. Plants at this harsh altitude have to take in as many nutrients from the ground as possible to survive, hence why Sevenhills Wholefoods source this product for its impressive nutritional content.

Processing

The Maca root is carefully harvested and hand-washed washed, where it is then dehydrated at 65°C. After being dried, it is milled into a fine powder and packaged after quality inspection.
