What is Maca?
The maca plant, scientifically known as Lepidium meyenii, is sometimes referred to as Peruvian ginseng. Maca is a cruciferous vegetable related to broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kale. Maca grows in the high plateaus of the Peruvian Andes. In fact, the Andean people have been growing maca for more than 2,000 years. It is one of the few edible plants that can survive harsh weather conditions above 4,000 metres.

Traditionally, the Andean people used maca as a food, consuming it in fermented drinks or porridge. In addition, the Andean people used maca as a natural medicine to treat various health conditions such as respiratory conditions and rheumatic diseases. Due to the increase in global demand for maca, people began to mass produce the plant in other parts of the world, including the mountainous province of Yunnan in China.
