Best New Transparently Sourced Product: Gaia Herbs Maca Powder
Gaia Herbs is a true leader in transparency. Many of the herbs it sells are grown on its own farms. The supply chain on every other product is entirely transparent, too, but maca is a special product with special challenges. Since its popularity has exploded, brokers have begun cutting corners; maca grown in China is often passed off as maca from the plant’s original growing areas in South America. With so much confusion in the maca trade, Gaia’s transparency and unassailable reputation are a boon not just for you, but for the whole herbs and botanicals community.
