What Is Raw Yellow Maca Powder?
Raw yellow maca powder is made from dried yellow 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. Yellow maca is the most common maca variety and is widely used as a traditional food ingredient in smoothies, drinks, and recipes.
Organic Raw Yellow Maca Powder Overview

Yellow maca is the most common of the three major maca colors, making up approximately 60% of the annual harvest. It is a popular choice for customers looking for a simple, versatile yellow maca root powder with a mild, earthy flavor and a long history of traditional food use in Peru.

Why Choose Raw Yellow Maca Powder?
Raw yellow maca powder is valued for its traditional use, mild flavor, and broad culinary versatility. It naturally contains amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, and distinctive maca compounds such as macamides and macaenes. Many people add organic yellow maca powder to smoothies, drinks, oatmeal, and other recipes as part of a balanced daily diet.
Because yellow maca is the most common maca color, it is often a practical place to start for people who are new to maca and want an everyday raw maca powder that is easy to incorporate into food and beverages.
What Makes This Yellow Maca Different?
This product contains only pure raw yellow maca root powder from Peru. It is sourced from a farming cooperative, dried at low temperatures, and packed without unnecessary ingredients. The result is a simple, traditional maca food in raw powdered form.
Yellow maca has a nutritional profile similar to red and black maca and is often chosen for its balanced flavor and versatility. To learn more, visit our guides on yellow maca and maca powder.
How to Use Raw Yellow Maca Powder
The easiest way to use raw yellow maca powder is to add it to smoothies, shakes, juice, oatmeal, yogurt, or other recipes. It can also be stirred into warm drinks. For more ideas, visit our collection of maca 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 yellow maca powder.

The Best on the Market
I’ve been using this product at least 5 years or more now. I’ve tried tons in the past dating back from 1988, this is by far the Best!

Great product
My cycles were only 17 days long and super irregular. I have been wanting to conceive and heard about raw maca and decided to give it a try. It has definitely fixed my overall cycle! I am planning to try the red maca next to help with fertility.

Yellow Maca Root Powder
I'm 74 yrs old in good health, take no prescription meds. Last year my Dr told me my blood pressure was high? I exercise, eat healthy but it was still high. He wanted to put me on meds, I said I wanted to try a natural approach first. I started using ground Flaxseed in a nightly smoothie. Took 6 weeks and my blood pressure started falling more every week. Read about Maca and decided to add it to my nightly smoothie. In the first week my blood pressure dropped MORE than it had with Flaxseed alone. Besides all the benefits of both Flaxseed and Maca, together I think they compliment each other. If you have high BP give them a try, what do you have to lose?

I chose yellow maca root powder because because it is the powder that has benefited from the most research and it is suggested as one of the easiest to digest.
I'm not disappointed. I drink it every day because I can feel the difference and I have for years, THANK YOU to the MACA TEAM for this reliably high quality food. It's very yummy!!

Great Food Product!!
I use Raw Yellow Maca for 2 mons. Within a mon. a crack ankle was sealed and back in place, it took less than a day for a very high pain level to come down that was tolerable. Nerve pain in shoulder, pelvic, sciatic nerve and brain/face, eye and jaw pain went down alot!!!. I had to switch to Black and Red for my sensitive stomach and continue help with health. Anyone can benefit from Raw Yellow Maca, it is great for people who don't have sensitive digestion.

Nothing
I have been using it for two days now so it's probably too early to say if it works. - "Yes, most people find initial benefits after taking Maca for about 2 weeks. Keep it up." The Maca Team

Great Taste !
I love the taste of this Maca. It has an earthy taste. It tastes great with plant based yogurt and ice cream. The only thing I did not like was there are clumps that I have to break apart, which makes it taste bitter if I don’t break it. But other than that, I love this brand. I will purchase it again.
