SelvaBio Organic Gelatinized Black Maca Root (Lepidium peruvianum G.Chacón) Our gelatinized maca powder is completely organic in nature and extracted to provide you with the finest quality that will benefit your body, your mind and your spirit. SelvaBio compromises itself with sustaining a socio-environmental approach towards its products that enables the highest quality in organic whilst taking care of the environment. Our maca is original from Peru. Our local farmers harvest the root from the Junin plateau and let the roots to sun dry for about 3 months. After, they’re pulverized and pre-heated to achieve starch gelatinization, the same substance found in potatoes and some legumes that can cause a bloating sensation and, in sensitive stomachs unaccustomed to the consumption of maca, cause stomach ache and uncomfortable gases. We sustain a strong relationship with our local "campesino" farmers in South America so they get a fair price for their crops, helping local farming families and allowing traditional farming and harvesting to continue, giving us the best organic quality. We use the word ‘campesino’ because we believe it has sacred connotations. In South America, a farmer isn’t just an ordinary person. A campesino is the land itself, the trees, the rivers, the soil. A campesino is the bridge to the nature we’ve distanced ourselves to much with. A campesino should be loved and appreciated and so the land will feel this too. Campesino = Farmer.
