How It's Made

After harvest our maca is naturally dried for about three months at altitude, then activated (gently pressure-heated) to remove the starch, before being blended with raw organic cacao. Watch how each batch is made.

Food of the High Andes

Maca only grows on the high plateaus of Junín, Peru, above 3,800 m, where freezing nights, fierce sun and thin air leave little else able to survive. Andean communities have grown, dried and shared it for more than 2,000 years, and it remains a treasured food in Peruvian homes today.

Our Maca Research

Seleno Health invests in research into maca. Together with the University of Otago in New Zealand, and co-funded by Callaghan Innovation, we have carried out pre-clinical laboratory studies on maca and its naturally occurring macamides.

Meet Our Maca Farmers

Our maca comes direct from our farm in the mountains of Junín, where we work with farmers Florencio and Yraida. Buying direct means fair prices for the families who grow it, and $1 from every bag of maca goes to our community fund supporting San José de Quero.
