Recipes

Here at www.raworganicmaca.info we usually use Maca in its raw form.  The one exception is Gelatinized Maca, which has already been heated.   You can read more about Gelatinized Maca here.

Since cooking can destroy some of the vital nutrients of Raw Maca Powders, we don’t recommend using Maca in recipes that involve heat above about 120 F/ 45 C.

We prefer to use Maca only in dishes that don’t involve heat.  If you do decide to use maca in a cooked food recipe, try adding the maca at the end of cooking so as to expose it to as little heat as possible.

**Note:  if you have digestive difficulties you may want to take Maca separately from fruit as the mixture of the two can potentially disturb digestion.   Gelatinized Maca is also good for people with digestive sensitivity.
