“The Story Behind Every Superfood”: Let’s Get Back to Reality, Let’s Get Back to Our Own.

🌱 The story behind each superfood

Tradition, ancestral power, and conscious nutrition in every spoonful

We live in times when we seek “the natural,” but we often forget that nature already had the answers thousands of years ago. At Intikisa, we believe that superfoods are not just a health fad, but a cultural legacy that must be respected, understood, and shared.

Today, we invite you to discover the history and benefits of our products, from their ancestral origins to their modern, ethical, and functional versions.

🟤 MACA

The sacred root of the Andes that strengthens body, mind, and spirit

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is not just any root. It is one of the oldest and most revered foods in Peru. It is grown on the Bombón plateau in Junín, at an altitude of over 4,000 meters, where few crops survive. The ancient Andean peoples considered it a gift from the Apus (mountain gods), used as a sacred offering and as a source of physical strength for warriors.

In addition to its symbolic value, science now backs up what our ancestors already knew: maca helps regulate hormones, improve libido, increase energy, and reduce stress thanks to its adaptogenic properties.

🟡 LUCUMA

The sweet gold of the Incas and its hidden nutritional power

Lucuma is not only one of Peru’s most beloved flavors, but also one of the most enigmatic fruits in pre-Columbian history. It appears on Mochica pottery as a symbol of fertility and abundant life. Its golden pulp and smooth texture were used in ritual preparations and everyday foods.

Beyond its flavor, lucuma is rich in slow-absorbing carbohydrates, natural fiber, antioxidants, and plant-based iron, ideal for people suffering from fatigue, anemia, or simply looking for sustainable energy without resorting to refined sugar.

🟢 CAMU CAMU

The Amazonian fruit with the highest vitamin C content in the world

Camu Camu grows wild in the riverine areas of the Peruvian Amazon and is harvested by local communities who have relied on its properties for generations. It was considered a natural remedy to strengthen the body, treat infections, and restore vitality.

Today we know that Camu Camu contains between 30 and 60 times more vitamin C than oranges, making it one of the most powerful foods for strengthening the immune system, reducing oxidative stress, and maintaining optimal brain function.

🌾 ANCIENT ANDINE GRAINS

Millennial nutrition for today’s pace

The Western world has only recently begun to appreciate what our Andean cultures knew centuries ago: grains such as quinoa, amaranth (kiwicha), oats, and chia are complete superfoods.

These foods were the basis of the Tahuantinsuyo diet. Farmers, travelers, weavers, and warriors consumed them to withstand the harsh climatic and physical conditions of the Andes. They were considered sacred food, both for their high nutritional value and their connection to the earth.

✨ Why honor these origins?

Knowing the origin of what we consume changes our relationship with food.

We are not simply feeding ourselves: we are participating in a history that goes back a long way, a history that spans generations, geographies, and cultures.

These superfoods were not born in laboratories, they were born from the earth, from the efforts of indigenous peoples, and from wisdom accumulated over centuries.
