How To Use Maca Root Powder
Maca root powder is also an excellent addition to anything you bake, such as cookies, bread, and cakes. Regarding breakfast, adding maca to smoothie or oatmeal is another great option, either by sprinkling it on top or adding it in while the oatmeal is cooking.
The traditional way to consume maca root powder was as a hot tea; with this method, the boiling water assisted with killing off any mold that was possibly present. Maca root powder is also great for adding to your morning cup of coffee.
Keep in mind, if you wish to receive the full nutritional benefits of maca root powder, be sure to only use it in recipes that require cooking below 115° Fahrenheit. And if you just can't get on board with the flavor of maca root added to your foods, there are also capsules, liquid extracts, coffee mixers and more available!
