About Black Maca
Maca is a small plant of the mustard family, grown for its swollen root, a cousin of radish and turnip. It is farmed high in the central Andes, at 4,000 to 4,500 metres (about 13,000 to 14,800 feet), and archaeologists have found early cultivated Maca at Andean sites more than 3,500 years old. In the Andes the dried roots are boiled in water or milk until soft, and the drink is the most common way to take Maca there.
The first written record of Maca dates from 1553, when the Spanish chronicler Cieza de León noted that the people of the high Bombón plateau lived on certain roots, which were Maca. A century later Father Cobo, the first to write down the name Maca, described it growing where no other food plant could, and in colonial times native people even used it as currency.
Strictly, the part grown for food is the hypocotyl: the swollen root fused with the lower stem, about 4 to 5.5 inches long, and in the Andes the dried roots are stored for years. The botanist Wilhelm Gerhard Walpers gave the species its scientific name, Lepidium meyenii, in 1843.
Andean growers sort Maca by the colour of its root, from cream-yellow to red, purple and black, and the colour types differ slightly in their plant compounds. Maca root contains naturally occurring glucosinolates, mainly benzyl glucosinolate, and macamides, a group of compounds found in Maca. More in our Maca herb guide.
