Production & Sourcing
Crafting Organic Maca Root Powder involves harvesting mature organic Maca roots, typically grown in the high-altitude regions of the Andes. Once harvested, the roots undergo a meticulous process of cleaning, where they are washed and sanitized to remove impurities. After cleaning, the roots are traditionally sun-dried or low-temperature dried to preserve their natural qualities. Once dried, the roots are carefully ground into a fine powder, resulting in the creation of Organic Maca Root Powder
