Beautiful Maca...

Maca.. oh my God this is a wonder food you just have to try it! Maca is THE great ‘superfood’ coming out of Peru. Maca is a radish-like root that is generally sold in its dried powdered form.
It doesn’t look (or taste) very exciting on its own but if you make a shake with it using any kind of milk i.e. cows, coconut milk, soya, almond or hemp milk.. add some vanilla essence and a spoonful of honey (or maple syrup or agave syrup) you will probably enjoy this powerful medicine. .. for an extra boost I've been adding about a tablespoon of raw cacao power  which makes it taste just amazing.
Maca has been used as an immunostimulant, for anaemia, to stop bone-mineral loss, enhance memory, fight stomach cancer, as well as to alleviate depression, menstrual disorders, menopause symptoms, sterility and other reproductive and sexual disorders.Maca increases overall vigour (especially sexual stamina and appetite).
