Maca

Maca has been a staple in the Peruvian Andes for thousands of years. This superfood increases energy, endurance and strength. As a root crop, maca provides five times more protein than a potato and four times more fiber. Dried maca powder contains more than 10% protein, 20 amino acids, and 7 essential amino acids. Maca is known to improve the following conditions: anemia, chronic fatigue, depression, infertility, lack of libido, malnutrition, regulate hormones for peri and menopausal symptoms, menstrual discomfort, poor memory, stomach cancer, stress tension, and tuberculosis. It is the most powerful of all the superfoods in regulating hormones

Maca is purchased as a dried, raw, organic root powder.  You can use a teaspoon in smoothies, tea, or as an addition to desserts and sweet treats.
