Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a perennial plant that grows high in the mountains of Peru and Bolivia, under very harsh conditions. Its main edible part is the root, which grows underground. Also known as Peruvian ginseng, maca has been used by people living in Peru for thousands of years as an aphrodisiac and to sustain life in the harsh mountain climate. Maca was used by Inca warriors to increase their physical strength in battle. Maca root contains many biologically active ingredients to support vitality and energy. These are some essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, copper and iron, as well as various plant compounds, including glucosinolates and polyphenols. In addition, the root is high in carbohydrates and fiber and low in fat. According to the color of the root, there are 13 types of poppies.
