PLEASE do some research before you purchase raw
I tried this two times. Both times half way through my regular smoothie (added this Maca Powder to it) I got a terrible sick feeling. Stomach was bothering me and I felt like the taste never left my mouth. I felt very weird after this for hours. Clearly my body was rejecting it. My friend who is Peruvian thought it was insane I ate raw Maca... she said it is ALWAYS cooked in Peru. She said it's essentially like us white folks eating regular flour out of the bag. The "Raw Maca" thing is a marketing scheme to pray on us Americans who think raw = good. Please google raw vs gelatinized Maca before you purchase and make the best choice for you. I threw it away and will not be repurchasing.
