What it is

Organic Maca Powder is made from the root of the maca plant (Lepidium meyenii), which grows in the Andes mountains of Peru. The root is typically dried and then ground into a fine powder. It has a slightly earthy, nutty flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic maca powder as a nutritional ingredient, often in foods marketed for energy or wellness. It is commonly found in energy bars, smoothies, powdered drink mixes, and baked goods. Its flavor can also contribute to the overall taste profile of a product.

Health notes

Maca is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Some studies suggest potential benefits for mood and energy, but more research is needed. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has not specifically evaluated maca for food additive purposes. Evidence on its long-term health effects at typical dietary intakes is limited.

Allergen info

Maca is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also naturally gluten-free.
