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 root
I'm obsessed with Maca team's black Maca powder! Since I started adding it to my morning smoothie, I've noticed a huge boost in energy and mental clarity. The taste is subtle and earthy, and I love that it's packed with antioxidants and adaptogenic properties. It's become a staple in my daily routine, and I've even noticed improvements in my workouts and overall mood. Highly recommend giving it a try - you won't regret it! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've been trying black maca for about 5 months and will continue taking it. So far I've been feeding a lot healthier taking it. Thank you team Maca.

Great product / great fulfillment service
I’ve used Maca powder throughout an active and athletic life. I cannot be sure that this maca powder, given the many supplements I take, is responsible for the fact that I am unusually strong and healthy, but I know that my body responds and I find myself craving it if I go without maca for a day or two. The quality of this maca is the best I’ve ever experienced, and the order fulfillment is the best in the supplements industry, equaled only by Laird Hamilton’s company. I am a big fan of the Maca Team.

Black Maca Root
This is a high quality black maca root powder. It has an earthy, slightly bitter taste. I like to take it separately on its own as it gives a bitter taste to smoothies.
