Looking for a midday pick-me-up? Struggling to find the energy for that post-work gym session? This Creative Nature risotto recipe is the perfect dish for keep energy high all afternoon.

Outside of Peru, maca is the kind of food that you’d expect to find in very fancy health food shops and in the cupboards of anyone who’s travelled around South America and won’t shut up about it. You might not, however, expect to find it in a simple risotto recipe.

But maca is so good for you that maybe more of us should find ways to add it into our diets. It’s incredibly nutritious, with 28g of the stuff containing 133% of the recommended daily amount (RDA) of vitamin C, 85% of the RDA of copper and 23% of iron.
