RAINFOREST MACA Maca root powder 300g
| RAINFOREST MACA Maca root powder 300g |
A blend of red, yellow, purple and black maca roots from Peru. Used by indigenous people for centuries, maca is now popular around the globe.
Maca ( Lepedium mayenii ) grows in the Andes at an altitude of over 4000 m. Under such harsh conditions, the plants must have a very good absorption of nutrients from the soil. This is why maca has been part of the diet of the local population for millennia. And while they use the whole plant, Rainforest Foods' maca is sourced from the root and lower stem, where nutrients are most concentrated. It is a mixture of red, yellow, purple and black roots. It is grown organically in Peru using traditional techniques. Maca has a long growing period – up to 8 months. Once peeled, it is slowly dried before being ground into a powder.

The way we eat and in general our way of life has undergone a radical change in the last few generations. Now we live at a faster pace and we often lack time for a balanced, regular meal. For many of us, processed foods have replaced simple, whole foods. They are convenient, but they cannot provide us with the nutrients we need.
From the very beginning, Rainforest Foods' goal has been to help people combine good nutrition with a modern lifestyle. Realizing that living close to nature and having an abundance of time is simply not possible, we sought out a series of whole foods whose exceptional nutritional richness can support the modern lifestyle, rather than trying to forcibly change it. We searched all over the globe for these foods, and processed them in a way that would preserve the valuable substances in them as much as possible and make them convenient to use.
Some of our products are grown by people who care for the land and crops in a traditional way. We use suppliers who support these producers, their leaner yields and their environmentally sustainable farming practices. The best foods from nature - that's what we do.
