Description
Premium Raw Black Maca Root Powder, Organic Certified
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.

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?
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)
How should I take Raw Premium Organic Black Maca Powder?
Maca is classified as a food rather than a supplement or herb. There are no known contraindications or side effects related to taking it. Daily dosage recommendations range from 3 -9 grams (1-3 teaspoons) for a healthy individual weighing about 160 lbs. Maca may be taken with water, juices or milks. It also may be mixed with food.

Black Maca review
I loved how it was delivered in a safe and effective packaging with the “do not irradiate” label to preserve the integrity of the nutrients. I’ve been taking it and it’s easy on the stomach and I feel physically and mentally great while taking it.

I made a big mistake with this.
I used to buy this on amazon until it was unavailable. It was the best tasting maca ever. Like butter scotch, I can take it by the mouthful. I recently found this website, I was so excited, so I just ordered it, Black and raw. But this is PREMIUM, and the taste is just so off putting and bitter, like gasoline. It's my fault, I just assumed premium meant better, I didn't read too much into it, I was too excited. They can't exchange it, so I have take the loss on this entire kilo. I'm not happy about it. However, I will be ordering the Organic Raw Black because it really is that good. Again, it's my fault, but still, if you're expecting that wonderful butter scotch flavor, you're in for a shock with the Premium.

Black Maca Root powder
the taste is so horrible, it is nauseating in water or coffee. like green beans X20. I can only eat my 2 tsp a day mixed in my breakfast cereal, or scrambled into eggs/cheese. but I do notice a bit more energy on my hikes/runs/skis, and not having to go pee more than 1-2X a nite now. so it is worth taking. next time I may go to capsules or extract.

Not same effect as sun dried
I feel like the sun dried has a more profound effect than this premium version. Next purchase will be that. Quality is excellent though.
