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.

Good for what ails you
I have had a hard time getting into the habit of using the maca powder, as I do not have a blender to mix it up. And the whisk is too big to fit in the glass I use. Therefore, I have to put my juice in a bowl, whisk, then pour it into a glass, a bit of a bother. That said, because of my inconsistency, I cannot determine if there are any effects for me. But I will persist. In orange juice, the taste is sufficiently masked to be palatable.

Great product!
After using this Red Maca powder for a couple of weeks, I felt more energized and healthy. So much so that I ordered a Black Maca powder to use a couple of times per week (using the Red Maca powder the other days)- which I learned from reading the brochure that came with the powder- and I thought it was a great idea. In addition to feeling great, I know the Red Maca helps with hormones, fertility, libido, etc. I do not need the fertility aspect, but could use some assistance in the libido department. I have noticed a slight difference with that (though not much because I'm just overly exhausted with everything going on in my life at this moment). But one thing I did notice was the additional "lubricant" that seemed to form. I don't normally have an issue with that area, but my husband and I did notice that there was more than usual. So that may be helpful to those who are wondering if Red Maca will help with that aspect. And a perk is that both the Red and Black Maca powder taste great! I currently use 2 tsp. of Red- which tastes somewhat mild and sweet; and 1 tsp. of the Black (will graduate to 2)- which has a little more taste. somewhat like a radish. I like it. I use both (though not together) in my morning "Green" drink. I really enjoy it.

Tastes much better than the product I tried previously
I am a 62 year-old woman, with low hormone levels, and osteoporosis. There is no way I'd go on HRT and I found the natural bio-identical hormones I was offered very hard to take. I've used Maca before, but I found the smell very off-putting. Your red maca is obviously much better, and actually tastes sweet, and though it has an aroma, it is not unpleasant. As soon as I've finished my oil-pulling, I mix the powder with warm water and drink it down. It is supposed to be best on an empty stomach, and I want to give it every chance to "do its thing." I started off with a half metric teaspoon, but I've gone onto a heaped normal teaspoon, and don't have any problems with it. The packaging is very attractive, and full marks to the designer. My thanks to the Maca Team.

Too soon to tell.
I wasn't able to tolerate the taste of maca powder on anything, so I ordered empty gelcaps to fill. I will let you know how that works out!

My daily Maca gives me an inner balance and feeling of being well nourished with more energy and beautifully rooted in the Andes of Peru. Is where anything more powerful than that? I appreciate that very much. I am 51 and my libido is stronger than ever and I love to give my contribution to this wonderful family-run company. For me they are sending out to the world products 'of Love'...I am happy that I have found them.
