Description
Raw Red Maca Root Powder, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO, Vegan and Raw
What Is Raw Red Maca Powder?
Raw red maca powder is made from dried red maca roots (Lepidium meyenii) grown in the high Andes of Peru. The roots are carefully dried and milled at low temperatures to preserve their natural composition. Red maca is one of the three major maca colors and is widely used as a traditional food ingredient in smoothies, drinks, and recipes. To learn more about this variety, see our red maca guide.
Organic Raw Red Maca Powder Overview
Our organic raw red maca powder is made from 100% red maca roots grown and processed by an organic farming cooperative in and around Junín, Peru. We work only with producers who manage their land locally and are committed to traditional agriculture, organic growing practices, and careful handling from harvest through processing.
This raw red maca powder contains only pure red Peruvian maca root with no fillers, sweeteners, or additives. It is a popular choice for customers looking for a flavorful, versatile red maca root powder with a naturally slightly sweeter taste than many other maca powders.

Why Choose Raw Red Maca Powder?
Raw red maca powder is valued for its traditional use, naturally occurring nutrients, and easy culinary versatility. It contains carbohydrates, fiber, plant protein, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, and distinctive maca compounds such as macamides and macaenes. Many people add organic red maca powder to smoothies, drinks, breakfast foods, and other recipes as part of a balanced daily diet.
Because red maca has a naturally milder, slightly sweeter taste, it is often chosen by customers who want a raw maca powder that blends well into everyday foods and beverages.
What Makes This Red Maca Different?
This product contains only pure raw red maca root powder from Peru. It is sourced from an organic farming cooperative, dried carefully at low temperatures, and packed without unnecessary ingredients. The result is a simple, traditional maca food in raw powdered form.
Red maca is one of the three major maca colors and has a nutritional profile similar to yellow and black maca. Many customers choose it for its flavor and its flexibility in smoothies, cereals, and recipes. To learn more, visit our guides on red maca and maca powder.
How to Use Raw Red Maca Powder
You can use raw red maca powder in several simple ways. Many people mix their daily serving into water, milk, or a plant-based beverage of choice. It also works well in smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, and other everyday recipes. For more ideas, visit our collection of maca recipes.
If you enjoy smoothies, raw red maca powder pairs especially well with fruit-based recipes such as banana, strawberry, cacao, or berry blends. Its slightly sweeter taste makes it easy to incorporate into breakfast drinks and simple homemade recipes.
Raw maca retains its natural starches, which some customers specifically prefer. If you would rather use a maca product that has been traditionally heated for a different preparation style, see our gelatinized red maca. Another option is a red maca extract for customers looking for a more concentrated format.

Suggested Use
Raw red maca powder is commonly used as a food. Many people begin with 3 grams daily (about 1 teaspoon) and gradually increase to 9 grams daily (about 3 teaspoons) based on preference and tolerance.

I'm Hooked
I started taking a combination of red and black raw maca powder 3 weeks ago. I'm a 63 year old male. My original reason for trying it was to balance my hormones (I have hypothyroidism). The thing that was most striking was the boost of energy and endurance during workouts. It has been incredible, especially the endurance. I am easily able to push my weight training and cardio far further than ever before. I've increased my weights by 25% over 3 weeks time. I am so pleased with the quality of the maca products. Thank you for all that you do. I'm a loyal customer now.

Exceeded all expectations
This product was recommended to me by an intuitive healer. I had never heard of it and was skeptical to say the least. After one month of using the Red Maca powder, my menstrual cycle was regular, from about 35 days apart and irregular to 28 days apart. My energy level is high throughout the day, I no longer need to drink coffee in the morning. My libido has also increased, and as a woman over 40, this was much appreciated. The cost is more than reasonable, and delivery is always on time. I cannot say enough good things about this product. I highly recommend it!

Part of my daily routine
I have been taking this powder daily. The taste isnÕt so bad. I found that after taking it in juice for a few weeks I was soon able to drink it just mixed with water. I feel that I donÕt yell as much...I am a wife and mother...sometimes I yell...lol...but I feel a bit more at ease at home during those busy times of trying to get out the door for school or trying to get through the homework, dinner and bed routine. I am almost done with my first bag and ready to order more.

Good product
I purchased this to help with menopause. I found the powder worked better for me then the pills initially. However, my hot flashes came back after about 3 weeks of using with a vengeance. I have to try to find how much I really need to be taking. It did give me energy though and felt better for the day.

Perfect Hormone Balance
I got to know Red Maca Powder through a friend who has been taken it for a while. I called it perfect hormone balancer because that's exactly what it does for me. I was going through PMS when I started taking it and the problem was solved within a month. Although the aroma may not be pleasant at first but with time I got use to it and I'm enjoying it. I have introduced it to my clients both male and female because of its benefits on general health. Its a whole food very rich in nutrients especially when taken first in the morning before breakfast, one may not remember to take breakfast again. I MUST NOT RUN SHORT OF IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT IT.

Not Sure If It's Helping
I bought this specifically to help increase my libido. I'm menopausal age and have low estrogen. I don't know if I'm taking enough or not, but it's not clear that it's helping. I've been taking it for several weeks. I'm taking 1 1/2 tsps. with my morning shake. I hate to have to take more because of the taste. I sometimes take it combined with 1 tsp of the premium Maca which is a mix of several different roots. I think it helps my energy level overall when I take them together, but would love it if it would help my estrogen levels more.
