New Roots: Fermented Maca. A native plant of the Andean highlands, maca is referred to by the indigenous Quechua people of Peru as the “fortifying food grown in the mountains.” The hostile climate and altitude it has adapted to accounts for its beneficial compounds. It was primarily used as food by local peoples; that’s why New Roots Herbal has chosen to complement its range of fermented products with maca—to offer you the best in traditional superfood. Fermentation boosts the nutritional value of maca, making its nutrients highly bioavailable. A superior nutritional ancestral tuber, maca, also called “Peruvian ginseng,” offers a complex bouquet of nutrients. Its powder will infuse a maximum of its benefits when uncooked. Just add it to your dishes, mueslis, smoothies, yogurts, juices, or hot beverages to help maintain your vitality and stamina. Directions: Add to water, smoothies, fruit juice, garden cocktails, yogurts, baked goods, signature dips, spreads, or hot beverages. Ingredients: Nutrition Facts Per 3/4 tsp.
