Uses and preparation
The nutritional value of dried maca root is big, similar to cereal grains such as rice and wheat. It contains 60% carbohydrates, 10% protein, 8.5% dietary fiber, and 2.2% fat.[citation needed] Maca is rich in essential minerals, especially selenium, calcium, magnesium, and iron, and includes fatty acids including linolenic acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acids, and 19 amino acids, as all right as polysaccharides. Maca's reported beneficial effects for sexual function could be due to its high concentration of proteins and necessary nutrients.
