Product Details
This is our standard organic maca powder for manufacturers who buy by the ton. It is milled from yellow maca, the most common color of Lepidium meyenii Walp. at about 60–70% of the harvest, which makes it the most available and the usual base for high-volume powders, capsules, functional foods and blends.
Maca grows in the central Andes of Peru between 4,000 and 5,500 meters; ours comes from the Junín plateau. The dried roots are washed and disinfected, cut, dried with hot air, milled and sifted. Nothing is added and the powder is not irradiated.
We sell it from 200 kg, with volume pricing from 1 ton, milled from 80 to 200 mesh to your specification, raw or gelatinized. Each lot ships with its certificate of analysis.
