Gelatinized Red Maca Root Chips, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, GMO-Free and Vegan 1 lb (454g)

OverviewGelatinzied Red Maca Root Chips

Our Gelatinized Red Maca Root Chips are carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled. They come from an organic farming cooperative in and around Junin, Peru. We work only with producers who own and manage their lands at a local grass roots level. The cooperative of farmers is committed both to organic farming and to producing only the highest quality Maca products.

What Exactly Are Whole Red Maca Root Chips?

Whole red maca root chips are as closest to whole red maca roots that are legally available outside of Peru. The Peruvian government has made it unlawful to transport whole roots outside of the country to prevent theft of this heritage product of the Andes. Our red maca root chips are:

  • USDA Certified Organic
  • GMO Free
  • Fair Trade
  • Grown traditionally with respect for the land - near Junin, Peru
  • Sun dried, carefully processed and packaged immediately
  • Vegan
  • Made from 100% Red Maca roots
  • 4:1 product – 4 KG of fresh roots to make 1 KG of Maca chips
  • In a 1 lb foil lined, double sealed, food grade pouch which contains 50 individual servings at 3 t (9g) each.

How Are Red Maca Root Chips Made?red maca roots fresh

In essence whole maca root chips are simply maca roots that have been ground up into small chunks. In the case of gelatinized red maca root chips the process is the following:

  • At harvest, grade A red colored maca roots are separated from other colors.
  • They are dried together in the high mountain sun for several weeks until their moisture content is reduced to 4% or lower.
  • The roots are then taken to a processing facility where they are cleaned and run through a coarse grinding machine that turns them into chips.
  • The resulting chips are gelatinized, which means that they are pre-cooked. This process removes the starch content of the maca root making the chips easier to digest with higher nutrient bio-availability.

How Do You Eat Red Maca Root Chips?

Traditionally, dried maca roots are boiled with water or milk and sugar to make a hearty porridge called mazamorra de maca (recipe below). You can prepare red maca chips the same way or experiment with other ways of making them.

Preparation ideas for whole Maca root chips

  1. Simmer ½ cup of red maca chips for about an hour and add to oatmeal or other warm breakfast cereal
  2. Simmer ½ cup of maca chips for about an hour and add them to a smoothie
  3. Steep maca chips in hot water for 10 minutes to make a tea – add sweetener as desired
  4. Try the traditional Mazamorra recipe – this makes for a hearty meal!

I shop around a lot for my supplements and health foods, and I have to say you guys at The Maca Team are light years ahead of anyone else selling maca out in the marketplace.  Thanks for all you do!

I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands

Loving the red maca from themacateam. I can tell the difference from my usual store-bought brands. It really tastes so fresh and sweet compared to others. I really love this product. Thanks for sourcing it for us to enjoy

The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price

I LOVE Maca Team Maca...this was my first purchase with the Maca Team and I have no need to try any other Maca-producer. The Maca tastes fresh and flavorful, the Kilo bag is a great price, and I feel so much more at ease (Maca is such powerful medicine :) )

The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares

I take 24 products from five to six times a week to increase my well-being and sensual and sexual delights. ;D The Maca Team’s organic maca is one of them—nine grams in my smoothie, Monday to Saturday. The Maca Team is a small business run by a family who cares about its customers, its Peruvian maca growers, and the environment. It's vital to know the source of everything we put in our mouths. Physical and mental health are precious treasures. :D

Your maca is sent from God, is a blessing and is superb

By Milt Thompson

This product is amazing!

This product is amazing! I have used other cheaper brands of white maca with fairly good results, but after trying the Maca Team maca, I noticed within two weeks all of my menopausal symptoms had completely vanished. Others described a bad taste and smell, but I have tried the black and the red and find them both to be mild tasting. I use a tablespoon in my daily smoothly

By Joy

Their maca varieties are good, as is their customer service.

Maca first came to us by our vitamin supplier. Then we ordered from the Maca Team. Comparison? Think fire-fly, then think mid-day sun. At 76 and 73 years respectively, that is a big deal; and at comparable cost too. We never have we had such speedy delivery and the packaging is the strongest, most protective we've seen, ever, at all ... anywhere. Further, the Mrs. no longer takes hormone supplements. And Mr. scans the morning want ads for steady P/T work.

The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting

I had been using another brand of maca powder and decided to try The Maca Team's. The difference in freshness is night and day, and better tasting .  I'm 6 foot 250 lbs. and take 4 teaspoons every day w/ my protein shake. Great energy boost and just feel great all day. I can tell a difference when I do not take it. best price that I have found {36oz}. I will be buying more as needed.

The Maca Team brand is very special.

I've tried various maca brands over the last 20 years and The Maca Team brand is very special. There is definitely a difference when it comes to the quality and colors of the maca. This red maca does seem to nourish certain parts of my body while the black maca nourishes something else. I know I've been missing the nutrition these maca provide. I'm 75 years old and bodies wear out, but I'm finding I'm regaining a functioning body. How wonderful is this?!?!!!

I just wanted to thank you for your excellently constructed website. I am a physician

I just wanted to thank you for your excellently constructed website. I am a physician and I recently started learning about Maca. I get a very good sense of it, and I expect I will try it out myself and possibly be recommending it to patients in the future. If so, your website will be the first place to send people. Thanks again.

I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away

Love the Maca team, In an earlier comment I said I was on the fence about where to buy Maca .Not anymore .You shouldn’t be either. The team has answered any questions I’ve had promptly.  I feel like I’m dealing with friends, not some company far away out for my money only. The Maca is fresh, prices are good, the people are nice.  If you’re on the fence, don’t be, you won’t be sorry.

We love this product. I own a store and work with clients holistically. We have recommended maca for years however, this is the highest quality product we have ever carried. I am proud to offer it in my store.

By Mellissa Gage, Infinity and Beyond

Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

I am really happy that I chose the Maca Team, today you can find many distributors selling Maca powder, however quality of the powder is impossible to compare. Moreover, the results after 2 weeks I could feel. Before I was taking maca powder and I did not feel any changes. But since I started taking Maca from Maca Team the changes are incredible. So, I did a test.:) I gave the powder to my partner ... and after 2 weeks he was impressed and told me that he has more energy, feeling happy... Thank you The Maca Team!!!!

By Olga

Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism

I do want to say that I have done quite a bit of research on different companies that offer Maca and The Maca Team definitely is the most reputable.  Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism :)
