Black Maca Root Chips

Our Gelatinized Black Maca Root Chips are carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled. They come from an organic farming cooperative in and around Junin, Peru. We work only with producers who own and manage their lands at a local grass roots level. The cooperative of farmers is committed both to organic farming and to producing only the highest quality Maca products. Gelatinized Black Maca chips are made from Black Maca roots, which make up about 15% off the annual harvest in Peru. These roots are pre-cooked to remove starch content and ease digestion. This superfood helps with fertility, hormone levels, energy building, mental focus, and more. Our Maca Root Chips are the closest to whole Maca roots that can legally be exported from Peru. That’s because Maca is considered a “heritage product” of Peru and the Peruvian government does not allow whole roots to be exported to avoid them being planted in other countries. Black maca has some benefits compared to other colors. Scientific research has found black maca to have some important properties among all Maca colors. A 2009 study in Peru found Black Maca to be the best for increasing sperm count and motility as well as for boosting male libido. A Swiss study from 2010 showed Black Maca to excel at protecting bone structure and preventing osteoporosis. 2 studies from China in 2006 and 2011 found Black Maca to be superior for increasing memory, concentration and learning. And a UK study from 2011 found that Black Maca supported muscle growth. We generally recommend Black Maca for men looking to increase libido and performance, for students looking to boost mental sharpness and for anyone working to increase muscle size or athletic performance.
