Maca, a remarkable root vegetable, thrives in the high altitudes of the Peruvian Andes, specifically at altitudes reaching 14,000 feet. This resilience to extreme and inhospitable climates sets maca apart as one of the few plants able to flourish in such harsh conditions. Historically, maca was considered sacred by the Incas and has been utilized for centuries in South America as both food and medicine. Notably, Incan warriors would consume it before embarking on long journeys or entering battles, highlighting its reputation for enhancing strength and endurance—a claim that modern athletes can now affirm.

This adaptogenic herb not only helps the body cope with stressors but also supports hormone balance, boosts natural energy levels, and enhances athletic performance. Our maca is sourced exclusively from Peru’s high-altitude regions, ensuring it is cultivated in pollution-free areas. It undergoes a careful sun-drying and low-temperature processing method to transform it into a fine powder. In contrast, inferior maca products tend to be grown at lower elevations and processed at higher temperatures, which can diminish their quality and benefits. The unique nutty flavor of Sunfood maca powder makes it versatile for both sweet and savory dishes.

Authentic Peruvian Maca Sunfood is dedicated to offering only 100% authentic Peruvian Maca, exclusively from the Junín Plateau, and we do not sell maca sourced from China.
