Maca is a plant that has been cultivated for thousands of years in the Peruvian Andes, at altitudes exceeding 3,500 meters. Under these extreme climatic conditions, the maca root has been one of the most valuable foods for the Inca people. At Green Planet Shop, we recommend consuming between 1 and 3 tablespoons of maca powder daily for best results. If you take it daily, its best to take one day off each week. You can consume it on its own with water or mixed with vegetables, soups, or broths. As it is made from organic seeds, its cultivation is environmentally friendly.
