So I got clearance from my boss to hike the Inca Trail, overnight on an island, wander through the amazon, all because I was searching for a product to bring back from Peru. Phew! Did I get lucky! The Peruvians along the trail had a product I could bring back home to the brass and not get fired. From the Mountains of Peru we present Maca root - it has been used by the indigenous to that region due to its claimed health benefits like improving skin complexion, increasing energy, and being rich in vitamins. Chalk full of amino acids, plant sterols, essential minerals, and essential fatty acids - our Organic Maca Root Powder gives off a malted taste, reminiscent of toasted oats and butterscotch - it is a flavor that can be used in a variety of recipes. Though there are no serious known side effects of Maca, like any other supplement, it should not be taken in large amounts. Our Organic Gelatinized Maca Root Powder is certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) and verified Gluten-Free by Celiac Spruce Association (CSA). - USDA Certified Organic Gelatinized Maca Root Powder - Batch Tested and Verified Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Vegan - No Preservatives or Artificial Ingredients - Made from Gelatinized Maca - easier to digest and absorb than non-gelatinzed - Perfect for blending into your drinks, smoothies, baking, and more!
