Maca is a wild grown tuberous plant from Peru, which is rich in phytonutrients, amino acids and fatty acids, but also contains vitamins and minerals. It is no coincidence that Peruvians call it a super food, but because of its physiological effects similar to ginseng, it is often referred to as Peruvian ginseng. Its application goes back a long time, for example, it was regularly consumed by Inca warriors before a battle to increase their strength and endurance. It was used not only in such cases, but people also used it for the preparation of various dishes, in both dried and ground form.
