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.

Ladies, this product WORKS!!
I began using this product several months ago to manage menopause symptoms. I noticed an improvement within one week, and a signficant change within a month, but I never liked the taste. I started off mixing it with apple juice but I still didn't like it. One day my son drank my last bottle of juice, so out of desperation (I could've choked that kid of mine), I threw some in the blender with a half of lemon and some spring water. Not too bad, but I got tired of taking it due to the taste. After two months of not using maca, the symptoms came back with a vengeance! I immediately re-ordered and started mixing the powder with freshly squeezed citrus juice, which made it much more palatable. The symptoms have decreased tremendously! Maca is now one of my daily staples. Ladies, try this product! It helps with the menopause symptoms we talk about - AND THOSE WE DON'T...!! Here's my Morning Jumpstart recipe: 1 TBS Red Maca Root Powder 1 juiced ruby red grapefruit 1 juiced orange 1 juiced lime 1 juiced lemon 1 TBS Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar (optional) Mix until all powder is dissolved or place in blender for 30 seconds. Drink or sip through a straw.

Definitely helps
After tragedy hit my family, of many things that got shaken up and messed up, one was my hormones. Everything in my life was completely haywire and suddenly also my cycles etc were too. I guess it shouldn't be surprising. I couldn't change or manage so much of what was going on, but after a while I tried to tackle a few of the areas where I might be able to do something. Red maca has helped me tremendously. My hormones have evened out, I have noticed more obvious fertility signs, and my normally somewhat irregular periods that were suddenly aaaaall over the place have become the most regular they have ever been. I even became pregnant with our bonus baby when age wise (42) and stress wise, it seemed that wouldn't and couldn't ever happen again. This baby has brought smiles and lightness back into our family that I didn't imagine I would ever see again. I feel less trepidation moving forward into the years of menopause etc, down the line with red maca on my side. It is filling in some gaps I apparently had. I absolutely dislike the taste. But I mix it with a couple ounces of juice or something and chug it down like a shot. Totally worth it.

The best Maca I've tried
My naturopath tested me for this product and said I should take 8 grams, which works out to be two level teaspoons. I mix it with water and add a little hot water to the top of the glass. I stir it well, and though I might need to add a bit of water to the final few grains, I find this is the easiest way to take it. The taste is sweet, and believe me I have tried a few other Maca powders which were far more unpalatable! It tastes like a 'real' and 'pure' product and so I believe I'm getting what I paid for. Since I have it shipped to Australia, the price is not insignificant, with the exchange rate and postage. But I think it is worth it. I take it to support my bones and my balance. I am a 62 year old woman with osteoporosis and Type 2 Diabetes, but despite these two factors, I am fit and well.

Review
I have been taking the Maca powder 3t a day for about a month. I have been weaning myself off of the HRT pills I have been taking for about 6 years. I am still having hot flashes so I don't know if I should increase the amount of Maca I am taking or if I should wait a while longer to see if the flashing gets less frequent.
