Maca and Roasted Maca: a nourishing, yellow colored root vegetable from the Andes mountains in Peru, it is ground into a powder and can be used as a partial flour substitute. It has a malt taste and can blend well with raw cocoa powder. Hazelnut meal and Almond meal as a flour substitute Agar Agar flakes: act like gelatin; a clear looking tasteless seaweed. Ive never had seaweed but I'm assuming it's all insoluble fiber right?
Maca root is 8% soluble fiber and 23% insoluble fiber. The extracted starch contains very little fiber. Hazelnut meal and Almond meal are ground seeds containing mostly insoluble fiber. Agar Agar is mostly soluble fiber that is why it forms a gel like pectin.

I suspect, but don't know for sure, that the powder is simply ground root which would be high in insoluble fiber and likely unsafe. If it contains only extracted starch then it would likely be safe. The best thing to do would be contain the distributor or manufacturer and ask about the soluble and insoluble fiber content. If you get an answer please post your findings.
