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.

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.

Very powerful, proceed with caution
I started taking red maca to help with perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes. I took it for about three weeks, two teaspoons per day in the morning. My experience taught me that maca is no joke! It is very powerful and for women in a similar situation it seems worth checking with a natural doctor or gyn to figure out the right dosage. I did experience relief from hot flashes - they seemed less pronounced and less frequent in the weeks I took the supplement and this benefit is for now continuing even after stopping it — BUT I think I got the dosage wrong. I am actually on a break right now because I started experiencing annoying and even alarming hormonal side effects. Side effects included significant water weight gain/bloating and, more alarmingly, a very large breast cyst. I didn’t connect the cyst to my maca regimen until I went to get it checked. After my exams I read up on the hormonal side effects of maca, and decided to stop using it for a while and see if it would reduce in size. As I suspected, my side effects have greatly diminished once I stopped the two teaspoons of maca. In short, maca has a powerful effects on hormones. Some women may be less sensitive. I probably needed to take one teaspoon at most and two were too many. I wish there were better guidance on dosage out there. I will likely try it again if I start experiencing strong hot flashes again, but will be much more conservative and cautious with the dosage. From The Maca Team: Thanks for reaching out Frankie. We appreciate your feedback. Indeed getting the serving size right is important. Since maca works on the hormonal system it affects people in different ways depending on their overall endocrine health. Also good advice for anyone with concerns to start maca in cooperation with a competent health care professional. We've also reached out via email to offer any additional support regarding serving sizes, etc. Thank you!

THE BEST MACA!
I've tried quite a few different brands and types of maca, and this red maca root powder from The Maca Team is the absolute best. Not only does it add a delicious roasty nutty flavor to hot chocolate, yogurt, and smoothies, but the quality is unlike any maca I have ever experienced. The website made it easy for me to choose the type of maca best suited for my needs, and I am so happy to support a small business whose values align with mine. I will not purchase maca from any other brand moving forward.

Red Raw Maca!
I absolutely love this Maca. It's smooth and, personally, I find the taste and texture great. I have it in my morning smoothie and feel energized for hours. I've also stirred it in sprouted oatmeal and coconut yogurt. Delish!

The delivery of the product was unsatisfactory.
The service provider used to deliver the product left it at the wrong property.

Delicious and nutritious!
I love The Maca Team's maca powder. I'm currently taking the red maca root for female hormone support. I enjoy the flavor in my daily smoothie, and it feels good knowing I am supporting my overall health.

Unable to use
I was very excited to try this product. Unfortunately, it did not agree with my stomach at all and ended up getting nausea and vomiting and have not been able to use it again after that first try. Unfortunately with the policy being that I’m unable to return after the products been opened, I am left with a full bag that I won’t be using. This policy seems a little unfair considering I couldn’t give it a try without opening. Disappointed. HI Ali, We've reached out to replace with some gelatinized maca. It has been pre-cooked and is easier to digest. Most people do not have issues with it. But if someone does they can take a maca extract and avoid digestive issues altogether. Hope this helps somehow. - The Maca Team.
