Description
Maca – a resilient root
Organic maca powder is made from the yellow maca root. More precisely, it is the part of the plant between the root tip and the cotyledons. The maca plant grows in the barren highlands of the Andes of Peru at 4,000 metres altitude. It endures extreme weather conditions and is adapted to the mineral-rich volcanic soils.
This gives the maca plant its exceptional resilience and nutrient density; maca belongs to the cress family.
Organic raw-food quality from the Andes
Because of the special climate in the high Andes, maca requires neither pesticides nor fertilisers to thrive. The roots are sun-dried and milled in Peru to raw-food quality. The powder has traditionally been popular for use in baked goods or as a porridge.
According to legend, the Inca took maca after battles or hard work to restore strength and aid recovery.
Vegan, organic and free from additives
Organic maca powder from Unimedica is a raw powder from organic cultivation in Peru and is certified organic according to EU standards. Organic maca powder is, in line with legal requirements, free from preservatives and contains no additives such as colourings, stabilisers or anti‑caking agents (e.g. magnesium stearate), is non‑GMO, lactose‑free, gluten‑free and gelatine‑free, and is vegan.
