Maca (Lepidium meyenii Walpers) has a millenary history. Domesticated during pre-Hispanic times and widely cultivated before the arrival of the Spaniards, maca gained much importance during the pre-Hispanic period, as documented by the first Spanish chronicles. Even in colonial times, the indigenous population paid their taxes in maca, before production started to fall.

Maca is an herbaceous shrub of the Brassicaceae family or the Cruciferae family. Its other names are maca, maka, maca maca, maino, ayak chichira, ayak willku, huto huto. Abroad it is known as Peruvian ginseng, because of the properties that have made it well known worldwide,

  • As a Food Etnoveterinary: Spanish chronicles mentioned conquistadors used maca to feed their horses and other European stock that did not reproduce easily in the Andes.

The plant’s root was high appreciated by the Incas as a food but also as a fertility medicine. Studies by Gloria Chacon (1990) have not only identified the high concentration of carbohydrates and starch food in maca but also the presence of four fertility-stimulating alkaloids.
