Organic Black Maca Powder

Black maca is the rarest and darkest variety of Peruvian maca (Lepidium meyenii), known for its high nutritional value and enhanced energy-boosting properties. It is cultivated in the high Andes of Peru, at altitudes above 4,000 meters, where extreme conditions create a root with highly concentrated nutrients. Organic black maca powder provides a natural boost of energy, endurance, and balance, ideal for daily use.

The Material We Use

We use 100% organic black maca, dried and ground into a fine powder without additives. Its color is deep beige-brown, with a natural earthy texture and a matte appearance. Its taste is more intense and earthy compared to yellow maca.
