Maca is on everyone's lips as a dietary supplement. The maca plant is not only well known, but also incredibly popular due to its numerous valuable ingredients. The question arises: What can you actually do with it? Can you cook or bake with Maca? We will introduce you to the many possibilities and show you five delicious Maca recipes for a varied and healthy kitchen.
Maca in the kitchen - a good idea
Maca belongs to the cruciferous plant family. In terms of dietary supplements, the tuber of the maca plant is particularly relevant. It contains more than 60 different vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. Due to its variety of rich nutrients, the plant has been used as a food in Peru since the 15th century. Maca has become an integral part of Peruvian cuisine. Every day they integrate the maca tuber into their diet and so the fresh tuber is used as a potato substitute, for example. Since maca has a very caramel-like taste, many Peruvians stir the plant into hot water or milk, creating a kind of hot chocolate. However, since we rarely have access to fresh tubers in this country, we only use Maca powder. But this can also be used to create tasty and healthy maca recipes.
