Taste the Quality: The Great Flavor of Nuestra Maca

The other day, we received a common question from a customer named Sandra: "I started using red maca this morning in yogurt. I expected the taste to be different; I read that it was 'earthy.' However, the taste is sweet. Is that okay?"

We love this question, because the answer reveals the difference between standard Maca and premium Nuestra Maca.


Why Other Maca Tastes "Earthy" and Ours is Sweet

The sweetness of Maca is a direct result of its quality, processing, and drying method.

   1. Root Quality: Our specialized cultivation in Peru has achieved unprecedented results in both root sweetness and the high content of beneficial alkaloids.

   2. Gelatinization vs. Raw: We have consistently advocated against raw Maca due to its low efficiency and disadvantages. The process of gelatinization changes the root's flavor profile, making the product more acceptable and naturally sweeter for the consumer, while also enhancing absorption.

   3. The Ultimate Advantage: Maca Extract 10:1 While gelatinization is good, the key advantage is our highly concentrated Maca Extract 10:1. This level of processing is the taste winner and is by far the most efficient option because 10 kg of raw root is concentrated into 1 kg of extract, maximizing the beneficial compounds you receive.

   4. The Traditional Difference: Sun-Drying.


Preserved by the Sun: The Traditional Drying Method

Just as quality wine or spirits come from naturally delicious fruits, the quality of Maca is preserved by how it is dried.

The traditional Peruvian method of sun-drying Maca roots preserves their natural sweetness and nutritional integrity—similar to how sun-dried tomatoes retain their flavor. The sun is a gentle, life-giving source that carefully protects the root's characteristics.

Crucial Distinction: The cooperative of Nuestra Maca growers is the last one in Peru that remains faithful to sun-drying the Maca root. Most mass-market offerings promote "sun-dried" Maca but use artificial, high-temperature fitotoldo drying method that destroy both quality and sweetness.


Why Capsules Are Not the Answer

Some customers attempt to avoid the earthy taste of low-quality Maca by opting for capsules. However, this is an unrealistic solution for proper dosing.

  • A standard capsule or tablet contains a maximum of 500 mg of active Maca Powder ingredient.

  • To reach the minimum recommended daily dose for raw or gelatinized maca powder of 10 grams (10,000 mg), you would need to consume 20 capsules per day!


  • The Superiority of Nuestra Maca Packaging

We have chosen the most expensive option for packaging for a single reason: guaranteed sterility and efficacy.

Our Extracted Maca Powder 10:1 is packaged in 5-gram sterile bags (sachets). While this reduces profit margins for producers, it ensures:

  • Microbial Purity: Any powdered supplement you open and close daily loses its microbiological integrity after about one week. Our individual packaging guarantees the sterile content of each bag, contributing maximally to your health.

  • Safety: This method gives us the confidence to recommend Nuestra Maca to any pregnant or nursing woman.

If you value money more than health, it would be wiser not to spend it on a product that brings no effect and tastes bad. Nuestra Maca guarantees both quality and efficacy.
