Organic Gelatinized Maca Powder

Maca is a root vegetable belonging to the radish family and has been cultivated by the native people of Peru for over 2000 years. Maca’s benefits have been valued for centuries and have recently been popularized as a supplement and food ingredient as it is naturally high in minerals (calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc), contains up to 20 essential fatty acids, lipids, fiber, carbohydrates, protein, sterols, and amino acids.

This maca powder is gelatinized, meaning the dried root is boiled down to eliminate the starch and increase digestibility. The cooked pulp is then dried and powdered, resulting in a concentrate rich in bioavailable nutrients
