Maca Root Powder from Peru, 4 oz Single-Ingredient Fine Powder for Smoothies and Everyday Baking
Maca root powder adds a nutty, malty flavor to smoothies, oatmeal and baking. This 4 oz bag contains finely milled maca grown and harvested in Peru, with just one ingredient and nothing added.
Blend a teaspoon into fruit smoothies or juice, or stir it into coffee, oatmeal or pancake batter. Its faint natural sweetness and earthy finish pair naturally with fruit, cacao or cinnamon, making it easy to work into familiar recipes.
For a warm herbal drink, mix 1 teaspoon into 4 fl oz of boiling water, stir well, cover and let stand for 2–3 minutes. Stir again before drinking because the powder settles.
Not for use during pregnancy or nursing, and not recommended for anyone under 18. Individuals with known medical conditions should consult a physician before use. Keep out of reach of children.
