The leaves are oval and the rhizome is shaped like a small round radish, which is edible and is a purely natural food rich in nutrients.

The hypocotyl of maca may be golden or yellowish, red, purple, blue, black or green. The yellowish roots are the most common and have the best shape and flavor. Maca is rich in high units of nutrients and has tonic and strengthening properties for the human body. Black maca is recognized as the most effective maca and is produced in very small quantities.

Maca is native to high-altitude mountainous areas, suitable for growth in high altitude, low latitude, high day-night temperature difference, slightly acidic sandy soil, sunny land; planting areas are mainly distributed in the Andes in South America and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain area of Lijiang, Yunnan Province, China, which are the two main producing areas with a large area of land suitable for planting.

Maca is also grown in small quantities in other parts of Yunnan, Xinjiang and Tibet. Maca is an annual herb. Its underground part of the tuberous rhizome, 10 to 14 centimeters long, 3 to 5 centimeters in diameter in the widest part, and 15 centimeters in circumference; resembles a small carrot, and is found in nature in two types of colors, yellow and purple, with a dense texture with a certain degree of hardness.

The leaves are 20 to 23 centimeters long, dentate, and bipinnately divided, 8 to 13 centimeters long and 3 centimeters wide, growing pendulous to the ground. Petioles are strong and can reach lengths of more than 10 centimeters, and secondary stems form branches that are 10 to 16 centimeters long.

Maca is the only species in the genus Solanum that bears a fertile hypocotyl. The hypocotyl fuses with the root to form a rough, inverted pear-shaped tuber. Maca roots vary widely in shape and size, being triangular, elliptical, or rectangular. Maca's hypocotyl may be golden or yellowish, red, purple, blue, black or green.
