11 WAYS TO USE MACA

Maca powder is made from the Maca plant, a plant which has grown in the Peruvian Andes for thousands of years.

This amazing ingredient is said to have been consumed by Inca warriors before they went into battle. They believed it made them stronger!

Nowadays Maca is known for its nutritional properties. It’s a great source of fibre and energy, and packed full of minerals.
