Health food stores and supermarkets now have sections in store just for "super foods". Super foods are foods which contain a higher nutritional value than other foods.

It is extremely hardy and can survive at very high altitudes of up to 15,000 feet and very low temperatures where little else will grow. The root is a storage organ for nutrients and when taken from the earth comes in a variety of colours.For thousands of years,native Peruvians have used it as food and medicine earning it the name "Peruvian Ginseng".
