Premium Raw Black Maca Root Powder, Organic Certified

Premium Raw Black Maca Root Powder, Organic Certified - The Maca Team

Raw Premium Organic Black Maca Root Overview

Our Premium Raw Black Maca Root Powder comes from 100% black maca roots that are carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled. The roots themselves come from an organic farming cooperative near the high Andes mountain town of Junin, Peru. We work only with producers who own and manage their lands at a local grass roots level. The cooperative of farmers is committed both to organic farming and to producing the highest quality Maca products available anywhere. We're very happy to support their work.

Premium Raw Black Maca Powder

What makes our Raw Premium Black Maca different is the way that it is processed after being harvested. After harvesting, maca roots can either be sundried or “fresh processed.” Premium maca is “fresh processed.” What that means is that immediately after harvest, grade-A maca roots are transported to a processing facility where they are dried in large dehydrators. The roots are then stored in preparation for being ground into a pulp and then into a powder. This special processing leaves more glucosinolates in the final product. The level of glucosinolates is standardized at above 1% in our Organic Raw Premium Black Maca Powder.

Our Premium Raw Black Maca Powder

  • Comes from a modern approach to processing Maca developed in the past 25 years
  • Is Vegan  
  • Non-GMO
  • Utilizes Fair Trade
  • Is fresh Processed - Maca roots are dried in dehydrators immediately after harvest
  • Is low temperature dried - never heated over 105F / 40C
  • Has higher glucosinolate content - nutrients which may help prevent cancer
  • Is much stronger tasting - has a more noticeable Maca flavor with more spiciness
  • Is limited in supply since it must be produced from fresh roots during annual harvest (June-August)
  • Costs more as the process is more labor and equipment intensive
  • Is the most complete and potent all-around Maca available

What are the Benefits of Premium Raw Black Maca Powder?

  1. Serving sizes can be smaller since it is more potent and nutrient dense.
  2. The standardization of nutrients assures similar results each time.
  3. It may work more quickly for some people.

What are the disadvantages of using Premium Raw Black Maca Powder

The main disadvantage of taking raw black maca powder is that it is a stronger tasting type of maca. Maca is in the botanical family that also includes horseradish. While it’s never as spicy as horseradish you can expect premium maca to taste much more pungent than sundried maca and even a bit spicy. Some customers don’t mind the taste, while others prefer to take our premium products in capsules instead.

Premium Black maca also costs a bit more than sundried maca powders. This is because of the extra labor and special machinery and handling needed to produce the final product.

One other fact when using premium maca is that the powder will be significantly lighter in color than sundried maca. Some people have even called it “white maca.” The lighter color is due to the fresh processing we describe above and is neither an advantage nor a disadvantage. It’s simply something to be aware of.

What is Premium Black Maca Used For?Premium Raw Black Maca Root Powder - Packaging - The Maca Team

In general terms black maca is specifically used for male fertility and libido as well as for muscle building and endurance. Research conducted in Peru in 2009 indicated that Black Maca was the best of all Maca powders for helping to increase sperm count and motility. In addition, we've had several reports from both male and female athletes that Black Maca is a favorite for increasing muscle mass and physical performance. Please note that results may vary from person to person.

Also If you have issues digesting starches, you should try premium gelatinized black maca powder instead.

How long does Premium Organic Raw Black Maca last when stored?

Maca keeps well for up to 24 months provided that it is stored in a sealed bag out of direct sunlight and at below 70% humidity. (More storage and Maca Powder use tips)

I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands

Loving the red maca from themacateam. I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands. It really tastes so fresh and sweet compared to others. I really love this product. Thanks for sourcing it for us to enjoy

By Michelle Gebbia

The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price

I LOVE Maca Team Maca...this was my first purchase with the Maca Team and I have no need to try any other Maca-producer. The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price, and I feel so much more at ease (Maca is such powerful medicine :) )

The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares

I take 24 products from five to six times a week to increase my well-being and sensual and sexual delights. ;D The Maca Team’s organic maca is one of them—nine grams in my smoothie, Monday to Saturday. The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares about its customers, its Peruvian maca growers, and the environment. It's vital to know the source of everything we put in our mouths. Physical and mental health are precious treasures. :D

Your maca is sent from God, is a blessing and is superb

By Milt Thompson

This product is amazing!

This product is amazing! I have used other cheaper brands of white maca with fairly good results, but after trying the Maca Team maca, I noticed within two weeks all of my menopausal symptoms had completely vanished. Others described a bad taste and smell, but I have tried the black and the red and find them both to be mild tasting. I use a tablespoon in my daily smoothly

By Joy

Their maca varieties are good, as is their customer service.

Maca first came to us by our vitamin supplier. Then we ordered from the Maca Team. Comparison? Think fire-fly, then think mid-day sun. At 76 and 73 years respectively, that is a big deal; and at comparable cost too. We never have we had such speedy delivery and the packaging is the strongest, most protective we've seen, ever, at all ... anywhere. Further, the Mrs. no longer takes hormone supplements. And Mr. scans the morning want ads for steady P/T work.

The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting

I had been using another brand of maca powder and decided to try The Maca Team's. The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting .  I'm 6 foot 250 lbs. and take 4 teaspoons every day w/ my protein shake. Great energy boost and just feel great all day. I can tell a difference when I do not take it. best price that I have found {36oz}. I will be buying more as needed.

The Maca Team brand is very special.

I've tried various maca brands over the last 20 years and The Maca Team brand is very special. There is definitely a difference when it comes to the quality and colors of the maca. This red maca does seem to nourish certain parts of my body while the black maca nourishes something else. I know I've been missing the nutrition these maca provide. I'm 75 years old and bodies wear out, but I'm finding I'm regaining a functioning body. How wonderful is this?!?!!!

By Janis Ihrig

I just wanted to thank you for your excellently constructed website. I am a physician

I just wanted to thank you for your excellently constructed website. I am a physician and I recently started learning about Maca. I get a very good sense of it, and I expect I will try it out myself and possibly be recommending it to patients in the future. If so, your website will be the first place to send people. Thanks again.

I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away

Love the Maca team, In an earlier comment I said I was on the fence about where to buy Maca .Not anymore .You shouldn’t be either. The team has answered any questions I’ve had promptly.  I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away out for my money only. The Maca is fresh, prices are good, the people are nice.  If you’re on the fence, don’t be, you won’t be sorry.

By Bob

We love this product. I own a store and work with clients holistically. We have recommended maca for years however, this is the highest quality product we have ever carried. I am proud to offer it in my store.

By Mellissa Gage, Infinity and Beyond

Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

I am really happy that I chose the Maca Team, today you can find many distributors selling Maca powder, however quality of the powder is impossible to compare. Moreover, the results after 2 weeks I could feel. Before I was taking maca powder and I did not feel any changes. But since I started taking Maca from Maca Team the changes are incredible. So, I did a test.:) I gave the powder to my partner ... and after 2 weeks he was impressed and told me that he has more energy, feeling happy... Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

By Olga
