Maca Root Powder | Organic

Organic Maca Powder

Earthy, malty, slightly sweet—and easy to add to your everyday routine.

Organic Maca Powder is made from maca root, a plant that has been cultivated in the Andes region of Peru for centuries. Maca belongs to the same plant family as turnips, radishes, broccoli, and kale.

Our Organic Maca Powder is sourced from Peru and has an earthy, malty flavor with a naturally sweet aroma often compared to caramel or butterscotch.

It's an easy addition to smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, drinks, and other recipes—and it pairs especially well with cacao.

What Is Maca?

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a root vegetable native to the high Andes of Peru.

Its history goes back centuries. Archaeological evidence suggests maca may have been cultivated as early as 1600 B.C., with written references to the plant appearing in the 1500s.

Today, Peru remains closely associated with maca cultivation, and maca root powder is enjoyed around the world as a food and traditional botanical.

What Does Maca Powder Taste Like?

Maca has a distinctive earthy and malty flavor with slightly nutty notes and a naturally sweet aroma that can resemble caramel or butterscotch.

Its flavor works especially well with:

• Cacao and chocolate

• Smoothies

• Coconut

• Banana

• Oatmeal

• Yogurt

• Nut butters

• Coffee or coffee alternatives

If you're new to maca, adding a small amount to a smoothie is an easy place to start.

How Do You Use Maca Powder?

Maca powder is incredibly versatile. Mix it into:

• Smoothies and protein shakes

• Juice or coconut water

• Yogurt

• Oatmeal

• Energy bites

• Cacao drinks

• Baked goods

• Ice cream or frozen treats

Because maca has a noticeable flavor, start with a small amount and adjust to your taste and the directions for your recipe.

Maca and Sexual Wellness

Maca has a long history of traditional use and today is frequently discussed in connection with vitality, libido, and sexual wellness, including men's sexual wellness.

Research into maca and these potential benefits is ongoing, so we don't treat maca as a cure or promise a particular result. We think its long history as a traditional food and botanical is interesting enough on its own.

Exploring Other Traditional Herbs for Sexual Wellness?

Maca isn't the only botanical with a history connected to intimacy and sexual wellness.

Damiana (Turnera diffusa) is an aromatic herb native to Mexico, Central America, and parts of the American Southwest. It has traditionally been enjoyed as an herbal tea and has a long-standing reputation for its association with mood, intimacy, and libido.
