Organic Gelatinized Maca Powder Concentrate

Maca root has been used in indigenous Andean societies as a source of nourishment and healing for thousands of years, and continues to be one of the most appreciated superfoods today.

Used to increase stamina, boost libido, and combat fatigue, maca root has long been regarded as a highly adaptogenic and powerful food.

Navitas Naturals Gelatinized Maca Powder is a concentrated form of this special root’s beneficial elements; the fiber of the root is extracted making this superfood more digestible and its beneficial elements intensified. With an earthy taste that is slightly nutty with a hint of butterscotch, a little maca goes a long way. This powdered maca concentrate can be blended into superfood smoothies, various milks, chocolates, or mixed into flour for dessert recipes.

Source and Processing

Navitas Naturals Organic Maca Powder is cultivated in its indigenous region of the Junin Plateau amongst the Peruvian Andes. After harvest, the maca roots are gelatinized and milled: a process that concentrates the active ingredients through a heated extrusion to remove the starch. This product has only one ingredient, maca root, and is kosher, gluten-free, vegan, and 100% organic.

A potent adaptogen, maca is one of nature's most powerful superfoods. In recipes, a little bit goes a long way: start with a teaspoon per serving and increase as desired.

Chef’s Notes:

Maca has been traditionally used in baked foodstuffs for centuries; try adding a few spoonfuls to any favorite recipe.

Add 1-2 Tbsp of maca to smoothies; maca pairs especially well with other superfoods.

Cacao is a perfect pairing with maca.

When creating new maca recipes, try using 2 parts fat (like cacao or nut butter), 2 parts sweetener (like agave nectar or yacon syrup), and 1 part maca.
