  Maca, also known as Peruvian Ginseng, is an adaptogenic plant native to Peru. This plant was considered sacred by the Incas. When the Conquistadors invaded the Inca Empire, they used it as a stimulant and energizer. Maca was traditionally used by Indians during times of famine, in association with Spirulina.

​

  According to an Andean legend, the Maca would have been "given" to Men by mistake by the god of thunder Choque Chinchay when he wanted to punish a couple for their incessant bickering and their inability to love each other. The lightning that was to hit the couple struck the ground, and only there was the ground covered with a carpet of green grass. Curiosity drove the couple to look under this greenish carpet. From it came a small root from the depths of Pachamama, Mother Earth. The couple had the idea of pouring it into their meager soup. They felt good, full of strength and fell in love again!
