Did you know
Maca is one of few plants that can survive the extreme weather conditions that plague the highlands of the Andes. The weather is a combination of high daytime temperatures casued by the relentless sun and intense frost at night with sustained winds that dry out most plants and cause significant soil erosion. It is these extreme conditions that the plant derives its beneficial properties!
