Maca
Lepidium meyenii, or maca, or Peruvian ginseng, is an herbaceous biennial plant of the Brassicaceae family native to the high Andes of Peru. It was found exclusively at the Meseta de Bombón plateau close to Lake Junin in the late 1980s.[1] It is grown for its fleshy hypocotyl (fused with a taproot), which is typically dried to a powder or flour and used as a root vegetable or in traditional medicine. Its Spanish and Quechua names include maca-maca, maino, ayak chichira, and ayak willku. wiki
