Maca can be eaten after being dried in the sun, or made into a cold dish, and is better eaten cooked. Long before Columbus arrived in America, Peru's national treasure was already a popular vegetable. It can provide a lot of heat energy. People who have tasted maca say that eating it gives them a sense of satisfaction and makes them feel very comfortable, and it tastes sweet.

The fresh roots of Maca can be fried with meat or other vegetables, or they can be dried and cooked with water or milk. Local indigenous people often add honey and fruit juice to the fresh roots and drink them as a beverage. Maca is rich in high-unit nutrients and has the function of nourishing and strengthening the human body. People who have consumed it will feel energetic, vigorous and not tired.

There has been endless debate about the nutritional and edible value of maca. Merchants claim that Maca can enhance male and female sexual function, treat infertility, and has a host of other magical health benefits, including blood tonic. However, many scientific studies on Maca have not yet reached a definite conclusion about its "aphrodisiac" effect, and its other "health functions" are completely fictitious. For this reason, the U.S. drug regulatory authorities have determined that some maca merchants have engaged in "illegal advertising." In Peru, maca is just an ordinary food used by people to feed livestock and cook, and it is not as magical as advertised.
