What Is Black Maca?
Black maca (Lepidium meyenii) is one of three main color varieties of maca root, a plant native to the high-altitude regions of the Andes in Peru. Although all maca roots come from the same plant species, they are sorted by root color—yellow, red, or black—and are believed to have slightly different compositions and traditional uses.
Black maca is the rarest of the three, making up about 15% of harvested maca roots. It has a slightly earthier, more bitter taste compared to the sweeter yellow and red varieties.
| Type | Color | Traditional Focus | Taste | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black Maca | Dark gray to black | Traditionally associated with stamina, endurance, and physical performance | Earthy, slightly bitter | Rarest (~15%) |
| Red Maca | Pink to reddish | Traditionally used to support balance and wellness, often favored in women's health routines | Milder, slightly sweet | Moderate (~25%) |
| Yellow Maca | Light beige/yellow | Most commonly consumed; often used for general wellbeing and energy support | Mild and nutty | Most common (~60%) |
