Description
What is Organic Black Maca Powder?
Black maca is the darkest and rarest variety of Peruvian maca root (Lepidium meyenii), grown high in the Andes. We mill the dried root into a 100% pure powder with a deep, earthy, slightly malty flavour and no additives or fillers.
Why you'll love it
Like all maca, black maca is a source of plant protein and fibre with natural carbohydrates, and it has long been a staple food in traditional Andean diets. Its robust, malty taste stands up especially well to cacao and coffee, making it a popular addition to smoothies and warm drinks.
How to use Black Maca Powder
Start with around 1 teaspoon (5g) per day and build up to 1–2 teaspoons to suit your taste. Blend into smoothies and shakes, stir into porridge or coffee, or mix into energy balls and baking. Its bold flavour pairs particularly well with cacao, banana and dates.
