Navitas Naturals Maca Powder is cultivated in its indigenous region of the Junin Plateau amongst the Peruvian Andes. After harvest, the maca roots are slow-dried and gently milled at low temperatures to preserve the food’s natural integrity.

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 food. The root is a superb adaptogen, as it enables the body to more easily adapt to and regulate stress factors imposed upon it. Navitas Naturals Raw Maca Powder is the raw and natural form of this special root – gently dried and ground to preserve it’s vitality and nutritional structure. With an earthy taste that is slightly nutty with a hint of butterscotch, maca is easily blended into superfood smoothies, various milks, chocolates, or mixed into flour for dessert recipes.

Studies have also identified four alkaloids present in maca, which are known to nourish the endocrine system (the system in the body which is responsible for the production and maintenance of hormones).

Maca root powder is a highly nutrient-dense whole food, as it is packed with vitamins, plant sterols, many essential minerals, amino acids and healthy fats. This is a particularly powerful and balanced food for athletes and those who are looking to combat stress or increase stamina.

Maca is a very potent food, and just a little maca sprinkled into recipes turns any meal into a supermeal. With an earthy taste that is mildly nutty with a hint of butterscotch, maca is easily blended into superfood smoothies, various milks, chocolates, or mixed into flour for dessert recipes.

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.
