Raw Organic Maca Powder
If you want to live a full, quality life, you must learn to look closely at the things you eat,
choose those that would help you the most and make eating them a way of life. Thankfully, there
are many health foods today that can help you not only to live longer, but also attain optimum
health—like maca roots.
Native to the high altitudes of the Andes Mountains, maca is a plant that belongs to the
Cruciferous family such as watercress and broccoli. The plant’s roots—maca roots—have been used
by the Incas and Peruvians as medicine for over 3,000 years.
Maca roots look much like a robust radish or turnip. It has an earthy, nutty taste and an aroma
akin to butterscotch which is why it was also considered an important vegetable crop by the
ancients.
Maca is divided into varieties based on the colour of its roots: yellow, red, blue, green, gray
and black. The red, black and yellow roots are the predominant varieties available today.
Yellow or cream maca is highly favoured for its sweet taste and is known to be potent in boosting
energy and sexual drive.
Maca roots have many names: miracle drug, natural Viagra, food of the gods, magic food. All
these names were associated to this amazing plant for good reasons.
Rich in quality carbohydrates, significant concentrations of potassium, iron, calcium and
alkaloids, maca roots greatly contribute to the formation of haemoglobin and red blood cells. It
is rich in prostaglandins and sterols that over time of regular intake, may lower blood
cholesterol.
The effects of maca roots in increasing libido, fertility and sperm count is legendary as the
ancients have been using it exactly for those purposes for centuries. Research has proven that
maca roots have nearly ALL of the essential amino acids (Glutamic acid, leucin, alanine, etc) and
zinc (12mg/100g) that contribute to normal fertility and reproduction, enhancement of sexual
desire in both men and women, and increase in sperm count and semen quality. It is believed to
even help people with erectile dysfunction.
Nowadays, raw organic maca roots can be found in many health food shops in several forms—pills,
extracts, gelatinized (where the starch in raw maca are removed for easier digestion) and
powdered form. But are the maca roots used in these products really raw? Were they grown
organically? Did it undergo careful processing so as not to lose its nutrients? Do they really
have the best maca root powder?
Impact Foods is proud to say that we offer premium maca powder that—above all else—have been
grown in its native habitat 4,000 meters above the plateaus of Peru and the Andes, where the maca
plants naturally thrive. The seeds are sown in the rich soil of the Andes and Peruvian mountains
and are trampled into the ground. They are left there to grow throughout winter.
Our maca plants are organically grown. They are organically certified by Organic Farmers and
Growers who is one of UK’s leading organic control bodies. This way, you can be sure our product
is not tainted with pesticides, sulfite and other preservatives.
When the roots of the maca plant have reached a diameter of five centimetres, they are carefully
dug out by hand in order to avoid damage. The roots are then dried naturally under the sun.
After about two weeks, the dried raw organic maca roots are quickly weighed, cleaned and picked
so that only the best roots remain. These are washed, disinfected, cut into segments and under a
controlled process, milled into a fine powder.
But we have very strict quality control guidelines. To further ensure that our customers will
get only the best final product, the premium maca powder is tested for microbes before it is
packed. We go over the product’s quality once more before it can be shipped and distributed.
This is our assurance that our customers will only get the best maca root powder there is.

food—but don’t be. There are many ways to use maca powder in food and drink. For instance, you
