Organic Black Maca Root

What is Maca? Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is an ancient root vegetable cultivated in the Peruvian Andes for thousands of years, also known as 'Peruvian Ginseng', it has now become a staple superfood. Our black maca is harvested from a family-run farm in Peru, where the roots are naturally sun-dried for up to 2 weeks before being carefully ground into powder.

Maca roots come in a range of colours — black, red and yellow — each with different phytonutrients, with black traditionally associated with men. Despite the colour of the root’s skin at harvest, the resulting powder is similar in appearance across all varieties.

Certified Organic: Organic standards are rigorously controlled in Peru before export, our maca is Soil Association certified here in the UK — No fillers or bulking agents, no artificial processing, just pure maca, packed in airtight bags and stored away from light and moisture.

As always, we encourage you to conduct your own research into the potential benefits associated with maca root.
