The Sunfood Difference:

Our organic maca is grown high in the Peruvian Andes in areas untouched by the pollutions of modern industry. It is sun-dried and then low-temperature processed into a fine, pure powder. Our low temperature process ensures maximum nutrient content. Other maca products are typically grown at lower elevations, mixed with many different types of maca and then processed at high temperatures.
