About
Maca powder is a ground Andean root that weighs about 4.6 ounces (130 grams) per level cup.
Maca powder has a bulk density of roughly 34 pounds per cubic foot (0.55 grams per milliliter). Because it is finely ground from a dried root, it settles in containers much like grain flour. It is noticeably denser than lighter pantry staples such as unsweetened cocoa powder, yet lighter than granulated sugar. A common 1-pound (454-gram) bag occupies about 3.5 US cups (825 milliliters) of volume.
From Wikipedia
Lepidium meyenii, known as maca or Peruvian ginseng, is an edible herbaceous biennial plant of the family Brassicaceae that is native to South America in the high Andes mountains of Peru and Bolivia. Its use increased after the late 1980s, when it was commercially discovered.
