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. To learn more about this variety, see our yellow maca guide.

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.

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.

Excellent quality for a fair price
delicious Maca powder, consistently good. Maca gives me increased energy and a feeling of well-being. works for female issues too. But I eat it now for the great taste. Grateful for Maca team, who sources from Peru and not China.

I don't remember why I bought this...
It tastes good, but when I think that I am eating ground up dry potato I can't remember why I bought this stuff. Granted, I have hypothyroid so energy is an issue.

Works for Hot Flashes
I went thru menopause at 53. Now I am 68 and am having hot flashes like I never had before. I wake up drenched in the middle of the night. And usually have a couple lesser hot flashes in the early evening. I bought your Maca because it's from Peru, besides being organic, and it promised to even out hormones, which my doctor tried to do with birth control pills. I bought the yellow maca because it was most affordable for me. It WORKS! After about three days, the hot flashes were stopping. I still got the evening ones, but not the body drenching night ones. Right away I bought two more bags. This is wonderful stuff. Thank you for making such a fine product. Now the evening ones have practically stopped as well. They have become hardly noticeable. I put it in a smoothie with frozen organic fruit and a bit of Almond Milk, and ice. Tasty.

Start off low dose with food
I foolishly started with 2 tsp. on empty stomach. Terrible craps, diarrhea lasting 2 hours. After that foolish start, I dropped down to 1 tsp, with food. NO MORE PROBLEMS. So please start low. So far I haven't felt much of a difference but it has not been that long. A friend of mine swears by it. So in closing: Start low work up in dose. Eat first. As for shipping: WOW was super fast.

Awesome product!
I purchased the raw yellow maca powder several weeks ago. I've been taking it every day in my morning kefir and I can really tell a difference in my energy levels. I was having horrendous issues with brain fog and feeling like I needed 3 cups coffee every morning and afternoon. But ever since I exchanged the coffee for the kefir and macaroni, I've had tons more energy, without the crash. I'll definitely be a repeat customer! Thanks Maca Team!

Potent but I dont like the taste
this stuff is very potent. I have tried RAw Red and Cooked yellow Maca. this is the first time I'm using Raw yellow Maca and it has a really strong taste. I used to put this in my oatmeal and cereal drinks but I cant with this one because it doesnt taste good. I might go back to Raw Red Maca

Very Potent/ Very cheap
I am a yogi who finds yellow Maca provides amazing sustained energy, Endocrine adaptogenic qualities, decreased recovery time from physical exersion and a libido enhanser for certain. I ferment the powder in home brewed kombucha for 1 week before consuming to increase bioavailability, (& I like the flavor) also, I take Maca for 3-5 days consecuively then 2-3 days without maca to maximize its effectiveness. *Other competitor's Maca has exibited a fraction of the potency. *shipping has always been prompt with themacateam. Thank you.

Great quality at comparable price
This is a far superior maca to the maca I've previously purchased at my local health food store. The flavor is smoother and it dissolves easily and quickly in water without lumping.
