The maca plant has been cultivated for centuries in the high plateau (Lepedium peruvianum Chacon) of the Peruvian Andes. It grows effortlessly despite storms and weather in the barren landscape, where no other plant has a chance of survival. This superfood was already an important part of the diet of the Incas, providing them with a basic supply of all essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements. In Peru, maca is still consumed as a vegetable by the indigenous population today. The bulbous maca root has an excellent profile of around 60 different micronutrients, including protein, valuable fatty acids and secondary plant substances.
SPORTLINE Maca Powder comes exclusively from the highest cultivation areas (Junin Plateau at an altitude of around 4200 metres), where the most resistant plants grow. The Peruvian ground apple, also known as the Inca or Andean tuber, is carefully harvested in certified organic farms, then dried and grated. When processed into powder, maca is not heated above 40 °C and is therefore considered a raw food. The powder has a sweet flavour and is therefore perfect as an ingredient in muesli, smoothies or porridge. Of course, the naturally flavoursome powder is also suitable for preparing desserts of all kinds and as an ingredient for cooking and baking.
Important note: China now also sells maca powder grown there to Europe. Chinese products are very different from the Peruvian maca root. Inferior maca products do not come from Peru and have a rather unpleasant flavour and contain significantly fewer vital substances. The inferior products are often fortified with dextrose to improve the flavour. Only SPORTLINE Maca powder from the Peruvian Andes has the much-appreciated good properties and is often referred to by connoisseurs as a "power root". When buying maca powder, make sure that the origin is stated. Only original Peruvian maca is used for SPORTLINE maca powder.
