Since Maca grows in extreme environmental conditions due to high alpine elevation, this portion had to adapt to withstand environmental stressors. As a result, Maca has serrated leaf edges. In addition, there is continuous production of new leaves at the center of the rosette. As a result, it leaves the outer leaves prone to turning brown and dry.
