What is Maca? Long consumed by the Inca and South American societies, this mighty plant is also called Peruvian ginseng. The entire plant can be consumed, however, the most common preparation here is the dried and powdered root. Maca powder has a mild butterscotch flavor and is a great addition to smoothies or your morning coffee! Some benefits of maca include: * Increased energy, stamina, and endurance. * Can regulate hormonal balance which can help improve libido and sexual function, alleviate menopausal symptoms, heal acne, and stimulate hair growth. * Improve mental clarity and focus, and can assist with memory and learning. #maca #macapowder #mightymaca #macaroot #healfromwithin #vegan #fit #purektchn #healthy #goodchoices #fitlife #veganNYC #eatplants #goodfood #veganlife #healthyliving #plantbased #veganeats #goodeats #bestofvegan #vegancommunity #greens #eatdrinkvegan #veganeatsNYC #veganfoodspot #veganfood #superfood
