What Is Raw Yellow Maca Powder?
Raw yellow maca powder is made from dried yellow maca roots (Lepidium meyenii) grown in the high Andes of Peru. The roots are carefully dried and milled at low temperatures to preserve their natural composition. Yellow maca is the most common maca variety and is widely used as a traditional food ingredient in smoothies, drinks, and recipes. To learn more about this variety, see our yellow maca guide.
