Why Choose Raw Black Maca Powder?

Black maca is one of the three primary maca colors, along with red and yellow maca. It is the least common of the three major colors, representing approximately 15% of the annual maca harvest.

Raw black maca powder is often chosen by customers who specifically want a single-color black maca powder in a traditional, minimally processed form. Because it remains raw, it retains its naturally occurring starches rather than having them removed through gelatinization.

Like other maca colors, black maca naturally contains carbohydrates, plant protein, fiber, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals and distinctive maca compounds found in maca root.

What Makes This Black Maca Different?

Raw black maca roots from Peru, cut open to show their natural interior.

Our raw black maca root powder is made only from black maca roots sourced from farmers in and around Junín, Peru. We work with growers committed to organic agriculture, careful harvesting and responsible handling from the field through production.

The roots are harvested at maturity, naturally sun-dried in the Andes and stored under dry conditions. They are then milled into powder when needed and packaged in small batches to help maintain freshness.

How Raw Black Maca Is Processed

Traditional raw maca preparation begins with sun-drying the harvested roots rather than processing them immediately after harvest. Once dried, the roots can be stored until they are ready to be milled.

Our raw black maca is milled at low temperatures and remains un-gelatinized, so the finished powder retains the natural starch found in maca root. Customers who prefer a preparation with much of the natural starch removed may prefer our Organic Gelatinized Black Maca Powder.

How to Use Raw Black Maca Powder
