Gelatinized Black Maca: Organic Peruvian Pre-Cooked Black Maca Root
Our organic gelatinized black maca powder, capsules, and chips are made from 100% black maca roots. After harvest, the roots are dried in the mountain sun and later gelatinized during processing. Gelatinization is a process in which maca is heated to about 160F / 70C, changing the starch content of the root and creating a pre-cooked maca product with a different preparation style than raw maca. Nothing is added during the gelatinization process.
Is Gelatinized Black Maca Better Than Raw?
The main difference between gelatinized black maca and raw black maca is processing. Gelatinized black maca is pre-cooked, while raw black maca is not. This creates a different starch profile, flavor profile, and preparation style.
Many customers choose gelatinized black maca because it is easy to use in smoothies, drinks, recipes, capsules, and chips. Others prefer raw black maca because it remains in a raw format.
If you want to compare the two, you can explore raw black maca here.

Gelatinized black maca root powder (3 sizes)
Taking maca in powder form is a cost-effective way to add maca to your diet. Our gelatinized black maca is ground into a very fine powder that mixes well into drinks and smoothies with a shaker, blender, or whisk. Gelatinized black maca is a bit darker in color than raw black maca, but the taste is similar. Many people describe it as mild, caramel-like, and easy to use in recipes.
Gelatinized black maca capsules
Our maca capsules are vegan and, because we directly control their production, contain 100% maca with no fillers, flow agents, or additives. Capsules are convenient for people who do not enjoy the taste of maca or who prefer a quicker option.
These chips are simply black maca roots cut into small chunks and gelatinized. They are the closest thing to whole maca roots legally available outside of Peru. They can be used in porridge-style preparations, blended into smoothies, or added to other recipes.
About Black Maca
Black maca is one of the three main maca root color categories, alongside yellow maca and red maca. It is generally less common than yellow maca and is often chosen by customers who want a single-color maca product rather than a traditional tri-color blend.
Because it is a color-selected maca, black maca is commonly sold in specific formats such as raw black maca, gelatinized black maca, premium raw black maca, and premium gelatinized black maca.
Many customers choose black maca because they want black maca specifically, whether in powder, capsule, chip, or extract form.
