Common Name: Black Maca Root
English Name: Black Peruvian Maca
Also Known As: Black Maca Powder, Black Peruvian Maca Powder, Lepidium meyenii Root Powder
Part Used: Dried root of Lepidium meyenii, finely milled
Description: Black Maca Root Powder is produced from the dried roots of Lepidium meyenii, a plant native to the high-altitude regions of the Peruvian Andes. The roots are carefully harvested when fully mature, cleaned to remove natural soil and debris, and dried to preserve their natural colour and fibrous texture. Once dried, the roots are finely milled into a smooth, uniform powder that retains the natural appearance and structural characteristics of the root.
Lepidium meyenii produces small, tuberous roots with a firm, dense texture. When processed into powder, the roots retain their natural earthy colour and fibrous structure. The finely milled form ensures easy blending into dry mixtures, botanical formulations, and creative craft applications.
Fresh roots are washed, dried using controlled warm-air or low-temperature methods to reduce moisture, and milled under controlled conditions to achieve a consistent fine powder. No additives, fillers, or processing agents are used, resulting in a pure plant-based ingredient composed solely of dried root material.
Uses: Black Maca Root Powder is used in botanical craft blends, powdered decorative mixtures, resin art, potpourri-style preparations, and educational herb kits. Its smooth texture, natural colour, and uniform consistency make it suitable for creative projects where a fine plant-based powder is desired.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container.
