Description

Maca is a cruciferous plant from the Andes in Peru. The plant has a starchy tuber that tastes like potato. The root tuber is used in the Andes both as a staple food and for many medicinal purposes. Maca can be cooked and pureed; mixed with milk; and dried and ground into a type of flour used for bread, cakes and biscuits. Because of its positive properties, maca root is also very popular in Europe today.
