Maca is a root that grows in the Andes at high altitudes. It is sold as a beige, red, or black powder; the latter is the most potent. Maca is used as a medicinal supplement for sexual health and function and should be eaten raw. It can be added to smoothies or used in dishes that do not require further cooking.
