People want to know the difference biochemically and the different strengths each might have tor health benefits (even if most benefits are similar, if one is a little better at supporting energy or hormones etc, thats the stand out trait).

How do they prepare maca traditionally in Peru/South America? I've read they'd never eat maca raw. Traditional dishes? Medicinally? I'm just very curious ☺
Maybe they've combined them into dishes with other powerful herbs/spices, making them act synergistically. 🤔 I live in South India & they tend to do that, too 😄 So curious if SA does it as well. TIA! 🙏🏻

In Peru, yellow maca is supposed to be the one people (both men and women) eat daily just for overall good health. The red and black are considered medicinal.
It’s said that red is more for women to help with balancing hormones and increasing sex drive and fertility and the black is more for men to help increase libido, sperm count and stamina.
Both colours have separate unique benefits though so anyone can eat all of the colours.
I use a tri coloured maca powder.
