You want one simple pantry staple you can trust. Here is what we hear most, and how this bag is built to answer it.
“I can’t tell what is really in my maca.”
One ingredient. Certified organic raw black maca root powder. No fillers, no added sweeteners, no unnecessary additives. The Nutrition Facts are right in the gallery on this page.
“Every maca label looks the same.”
Maca comes in yellow, red and black color types. This bag is black maca only, the darkest of the three, not a mixed-color blend. The bag reads RAW, ORGANIC, PERUVIAN.
“I don’t want another pill to swallow.”
A fine, smooth powder that stirs into smoothies, shakes, oatmeal and warm drinks. One teaspoon (5 g) is one serving.
“I always forget to reorder.”
One 16 oz bag holds about 91 servings, roughly 3 months at a teaspoon a day. Choose Subscribe and save for delivery on your schedule, and skip, pause or cancel any time.
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a root vegetable that grows in the high Andes of Peru. It is in the same plant family as broccoli, radish and cabbage, and it comes in yellow, red and black color types. Black maca is the darkest. We use the raw root: organically harvested in Peru, then ground into a fine powder.
The flavor is earthy, nutty and a little sweet, like malt. Each 1 tsp (5 g) serving is about 20 calories, and one 16 oz bag holds about 91 servings. People typically stir it into smoothies, oatmeal or coffee.
Wondering what black maca does, or when to take it? Maca is a food, and we don’t promise any result. See the honest answers in the FAQ.

What black maca is, how people use it, when to take it, safety and storage. Maca is a food, research is limited and we make no promises about results.
Black maca powder is the ground root of Lepidium meyenii, a vegetable that grows in the high Andes of Peru. It belongs to the same plant family as broccoli, radish and cabbage. Maca comes in several color types, and black maca is the darkest. Ours is USDA Organic, raw and one ingredient: black maca root, nothing else.
Earthy, nutty and slightly sweet, a bit like malt. The flavor is mild once it is blended, which is why most people stir it into smoothies, oatmeal or warm drinks rather than taking it on its own.
Take 1 teaspoon (5 g) daily, or as directed on the label. Stir it into a smoothie, shake, oatmeal, cereal, coffee or a warm drink, or bake it into pancakes and muffins. If you are new to maca, you can start with a smaller scoop and work up to the label serving.
There is no established best time, so it comes down to personal preference. Some people like it in the morning because it is easy to stir into a breakfast smoothie, oatmeal or coffee, and taking it with food is a common habit. Others prefer an afternoon smoothie or an evening warm drink. If you notice it doesn't agree with you at a certain time of day, move it to another time or use a smaller scoop.
Maca is a root vegetable that has been grown and eaten in the Peruvian Andes for a very long time, and the label serving is 1 teaspoon (5 g) a day. We are a food company and cannot say it is right for everyone. Ask a qualified professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing or taking medication. Stop use if you notice a reaction.
One 16 oz (454 g) resealable bag holds about 91 servings. A serving is 1 teaspoon (5 g), which is about 20 calories per the Nutrition Facts panel. At one serving a day, a bag lasts about 3 months.
The flavor is earthy and a little malty, which some people don't love on its own, so most people blend it into smoothies or oatmeal. Our 60-day return policy on new, unopened items lets you try it. If you are pregnant, nursing or taking medication, ask a qualified professional first.
Maca is a food, so it blends into the same things most powders do: smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, coffee, hot cacao and baking. Check the other ingredients you add if you have allergies. If you take prescription medication or other supplements, ask a pharmacist or qualified professional before adding maca.
One ingredient: certified organic raw black maca root powder (Lepidium meyenii). No fillers, no added sweeteners and no unnecessary additives.
Yes to all of it. The bag carries the USDA Organic seal and reads RAW, ORGANIC, PERUVIAN. The powder is vegan, non-GMO and gluten-free, and the maca is harvested in Peru.
They are color types of the same plant, Lepidium meyenii. Black maca root is the darkest. We sell raw powder in black and red, both in a 16 oz bag with 91 servings and a 1 tsp serving. See our Red Maca Powder or the powder vs capsules guide to compare.
Choose the powder if you like to blend it into smoothies, oatmeal and recipes. Choose Organic Black Maca Capsules if you would rather have a no-mix routine that travels easily. Both use organic black maca from Peru.
Store the bag sealed in a cool, dark, dry place. Refrigeration is not required. Keep out of reach of children.
Shipping is free on 2 or more items or orders of $49 or more, and orders placed before 12 PM PT ship the same day. Every order is backed by our 60-day money-back guarantee (see our Shipping & Returns page for details). To save more, choose Subscribe and save above the Add to Cart button, pick your delivery schedule, and skip, pause or cancel any time from your account.
“I love the fact that this is a powder and you can put this into different types of drinks and smoothies. Even oatmeal.”
Heather Gleeson, Pilates instructor. She takes black maca with her husband, who does CrossFit. In her customer video she scoops a teaspoon into a blender with banana and fruit. Her experience is her own; results vary and we make no claims.
One serving is 1 teaspoon (5 g), or as directed on the label.
Blend into a smoothie or shake, or stir into oatmeal, cereal or a warm drink. It also bakes well in pancakes and muffins.
Morning or evening is personal preference. There is no established best time. Many people simply pair it with a meal they already eat.
