Black Maca Powder

Black maca is the rarest of the maca varieties, with black skin and a pale yellow centre. Power Super Foods sources it from the Junin region in the Central Andes of Peru, where the tuber grows at altitudes of up to 4,500 metres. The roots are hand harvested and sun dried at altitude, gently heated in the traditional way, then milled to a fine powder that tastes malty and caramelly rather than sharp. Stir it into smoothies, oats, hot drinks and baking, where it sits well alongside cacao, dates and cinnamon.
