Raw Premium Red Maca Root Powder, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO, Vegan and Raw

OverviewPremium Raw Red Maca Powder Serving Suggestion

Our Premium Raw Red Maca Root Powder is made from 100% grade-A red maca roots. These roots are carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled on our organic farming cooperative in and around 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 Red Maca Root Powder

What makes this Maca “premium” is the way in which it is processed. Instead of being sundried, maca roots are fresh processed immediately after harvest. After coming out of the ground they are cleaned in a citrus solution, ground into a pulp and low temperature dried. This special processing leaves more glucosinolates in the final product. The level of glucosinolates is standardized at above 1% in our raw premium red maca powder.

This type of Maca:

  • Comes from a modern approach to processing maca developed in the past 25 years
  • Is fresh processed - maca roots are dried in dehydrators immediately after harvest
  • Is 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 spicinessPremium Raw Red Maca Powder from The Maca Team
  • 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

Why Take Premium Raw Red Maca Powder Over Standard Maca Powder?

This is an excellent question. There are a few reasons to take a premium maca product over a standard one. First, as we’ve already mentioned, premium maca is higher in glucosinolate content than standard (sundried) maca root products. Maca root is a cruciferous vegetable like radishes, cabbage, broccoli, horseradish and rutabagas to name a few. These type of vegetables have anti-cancer properties in that they help eliminate free radicals and are recommended for anyone who is fighting cancer as well as anyone who is particularly health conscious.  Second, premium maca products are somewhat more potent in other nutritional categories as well. This means that you may be able to take a bit less and get similar results. Finally, this type of maca is tested to achieve more standardized levels of nutrients. For that reason, results can be more consistent from batch to batch.

Are There Any Disadvantages?

There are two main disadvantages to choosing raw premium red maca powder over standard raw red maca powder. Raw Premium Red Maca Energy Balls Recipe

  1. Premium maca powder tastes much stronger and spicier. It can even be a bit bitter or even astringent for some people. While there are a few people who appreciate and even enjoy this flavor, many don’t. This is easy enough to overcome, either by adding the powder to a recipe, such as red maca energy balls that hides the taste or by taking it in capsule form instead.
  2. Premium maca costs more. Due to the special processing and limited amount of harvest dedicated to producing premium maca it is more expensive (5%-15% on average). While you may be able to take a bit less due to its potency, it does cost more up front.

Recommended for:

Red maca powder in general has been shown, under phytonutrient analysis, to be higher in certain compounds that support the body in antioxidant and antitumoral activity.

We recommend premium raw red maca:

  • For men looking to use maca for prostate support
  • For women's fertility and libido (We recommend black maca for male fertility)
  • For bone density - most important for women and children
  • For everyone wanting to experience the highest antioxidant and nutrient levels of all maca powders

Please note that results may vary from person to person.

Storage/Shelf Life:

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 use tips)

Suggested Use:

Add 1-3 teaspoons of this superfood powder to smoothies, water, or juice daily. (Complete serving guidelines)

I shop around a lot for my supplements and health foods, and I have to say you guys at The Maca Team are light years ahead of anyone else selling maca out in the marketplace.  Thanks for all you do!

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

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?!?!!!

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

This is the highest quality product we have ever carried. I am proud to offer it in my store.

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
