Great maca
I adore maca. This one is superior and the price is about the same as other brands.<br /><br />Maca has a toasty almost yeasty taste and smell. I can’t explain it. I happen to love the taste of it. I use it in smoothies and have for years. It’s supposed to be good for you. Can’t attest to that, but I do know that maca seems to give me a little boost without the jitters of caffeine, so that’s great for me as I can not tolerate caffeine.<br /><br />I particularly love smoothies with a combination of raw cacao and maca. Try them together if you haven’t.<br /><br />When I first started using maca I remember that I thought it actually smelled like sweaty socks - not dirty socks, but athletic socks that had been worn on clean feet that had been sweating. It’s a very particular odor! Nutritional yeast has that smell. And I thought all maca does, too, but that turns out not to be the case. I don’t get that smell from this brand of maca. I’ll admit that I rather like that smell. I like nutritional yeast and I like maca, but this is quite a bit nicer. It has a strong smell that maca lovers will like. My hubby, whose sense of smell isn’t as strong as mine (according to him) really loves this maca and commented on the good smell when I put it from the re-sealable bag into a glass storage container.<br /><br />It is noticeably finer ground than other organic brands that I’ve been buying. That means you’ll have a less grainy taste, not that I noticed it before, but I did notice that this was ground very fine indeed.<br /><br />Good price. Good product. My only complaint is an odd one, and not one that I’ll take away any stars for: I do not like the packaging design. It doesn’t look like the packaging of a food product but more like it would be suitable for office products. Doesn’t matter, as I threw it away. I like keeping products like this in glass containers.<br /><br />Highly recommended.
