Our Maca is grown at 3500 meters above sea level, in the Province of Junn, located in the Central Sierra of Peru. Maca roots are dug out by hand using a small hoe called a cashu, to prevent damage, then dried naturally in the sun. Dried maca roots can be stored for seven years, but we rush ours to a local processing plant, where theyre meticulously weighed and cleaned, with only the finest roots selected for processing. These roots are washed again and cut into small 8-12mm segments, before being fully dehydrated under humidity control. The segments are finely milled into a powder of 60 mesh specification, then and tested for microbes, before being packaged and shipped to the UK where we check the quality once more, then give them to you.
