Organic Maca Tea

In the Know

A root vegetable from Peru, the first documentation of the maca plant was offered by a visiting Spanish friar some 4,000 years ago. Grown and harvested for the nourishing root it produces, maca is a relative of other known root vegetables, including radishes and turnips. Known for its rich nutritional content and mild nature, maca is often referred to as Peruvian Ginseng, even though the two roots are unrelated. With a pleasant earthy, somewhat nutty taste, maca is enjoyed as a root vegetable, as well as brewed into an invigorating herbal tea.

Maca Fun Fact

In herbal medicine, adaptogens are known to help the body adapt to stress, as they instill a balancing effect on bodily processes. As a known adaptogen, maca offers a variety of potential benefits; in other words, it is capable of doing what needs to be done, whether it’s cultivating more energy, or providing stress relief.

Rich in Nutrients

Maca root is well known not only for its unique, earthy taste, but its rich nutrient content. It is a natural source of vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin and even vitamin B12, which is not often found in plants. Maca root also provides several important minerals, including iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc. Maca tea also offers a tasty herbal source of protein and fiber to enrich your diet, along with amino acids, saponins, tannins and essential fatty acids. Many of its constituents also offer antioxidant properties, making it an excellent addition to your daily regimen.
