Raw Material Natural Characteristics

Lepidium meyenii Walp. belongs to Brassicaceae family. Maca roots accumulate rich natural botanical components during growth. Our maca root powder uses mature dried maca roots as raw material, processed by gentle low-temperature drying and fine grinding to retain the native flavour and natural substances of maca. This plant-derived ingredient shows stable physical properties and flexible application options, matching the global market trend for natural, plant-based and clean-label food ingredients.

• Natural Plant Source: Harvested from mature maca roots, sourced from standardized planting bases, free from soil, weed debris or deteriorated roots.

• Mild Low-Temp Drying Process: Low-temperature drying reduces moisture while limiting thermal damage, helping preserve natural colour, aroma and native components of maca root.

• Consistent Quality Standard: Unified screening and mesh classification ensure consistent powder fineness and colour between batches, convenient for end-product formulation and packaging design.

• Wide Application Flexibility: Fine powder form can be directly blended or dispersed in liquids, compatible with many beverage and food production systems.
