1. WHY DOES MACA HAVE DIFFERENT NAMES?

Maca was originally identified in the 1800's by a German botanist who named it "Lepidium meyenii, Walpers" (after himself).  From the 1960's, a research worker who scientifically investigated Maca's constituents attempted to rename it after herself, hence "Lepidium peruvianum, Chacon In Peru, it is still called by it's ORIGINAL name, while some overseas countries and companies have adopted the later name in an attempt to make their product seem more 'exclusive

          2.SO ARE THERE DIFFERENT SPECIES OF MACA?  There is only one species that is grown commercially for harvest.  Like many other common foods, there is a plant that grows wild, but it has no dollar value.  Remember, many of our common foods have 'wild cousins'; for example, bush lemons and wild strawberries.

          3.HOW DO I KNOW WHICH MACA BRAND IS THE BEST QUALITY?  Read the label - high protein count is a great indicator of optimal growing conditions and careful processing.  Maca is a carbohydrate root vegetable, so a light colour and sweet taste means that its amino acids, vitamins and nutrients have been better preserved.

          4.DOES THE REGION WHERE MACA IS GROWN MATTER?  Yes.  The best Maca is grown in the Junin Plateau where it has been grown for thousands of years using traditional farming methods - key factors are altitude (4,100m above sea level), soil type & microclimate.
