Maca Root is the common name for Lepidium meyenii, a plant in the Brassicaceae family. ‘Maca root’ refers to the root of the plant, which resembles a turnip. It is divided into categories based on the color of the root, which can be red, black, pink or yellow and has historically been grown in Peru. As a supplement, it tends to be turned into a dried powder which is then mixed into smoothies and other beverages.
