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

Overview

These whole maca root chips are the closest thing to entire maca roots that can be legally exported from Peru. They are maca in its most authentic and pure form. Gelatinized tri-color maca chips are pre-cooked to ease digestion and concentrate some nutrients. They contain a blend of red, yellow and black maca roots and are a great value.
Maca root Chips are simply maca roots cut into small chunks after being washed and dried. Our chips are pre-cooked (gelatinized) to ease digestion and to make them simpler to consume. Traditionally, dried maca roots are boiled with water or milk and sugar to make a hearty porridge called Mazamorra. You can prepare maca chips the same way or experiment with other ways of making them. See below for more ideas.

What Is Tri-Color Maca?

Tri-color maca is simply a combination of all three of the major colors of maca roots: black, red and yellow. Instead of being separated by color, maca products made in this way use a combination of all 3 colors. This is the way maca has traditionally been consumed for centuries in the high Andes of Peru. The Maca Team is one of the only companies to continue to offer products made from all of the maca root colors.

What Are Tri-Color Maca Chips?

Our gelatinized tri-color maca root chips are made from about 40% yellow, 30% red and 30% black maca roots. After harvest these roots are dried, cleaned and then simply ground into chunks/chips that are ready to serve. They are as close to whole maca roots as you can get outside of the high mountain regions of Peru. That’s because Peru has banned the export of complete maca roots, declaring maca a heritage product of Peru. Actually, it’s interesting to note that, in spite of many serious efforts, maca roots only grow well in the areas where it originated – namely the Junin plateau of central Peru.

These chips are suitable for anyone, even those with sensitive digestion. That’s because they have been “gelatinized” or pre-cooked in a special process to remove most of the starch content. This process also serves to concentrate some nutrients.

What Are The Advantages of Using Whole Maca Root Chips?

There are a few advantages to using these tri-color maca chips. tri-color maca roots

  1. These chips contain a blend of all three maca colors, giving the consumer some of the benefits of each color.
  2. Since they are gelatinized they are easier to digest than raw maca root products.
  3. These chips offer as close to a whole food maca experience as possible.
  4. The tri-color chips are less expensive than our other chips because they are faster to produce (no one is needed to separate the maca roots by color).

How Do You Consume Maca Chips?

Traditionally maca chips are eaten in a porridge form. Here is a recipe for that along with some other ideas.

  • Simmer ½ cup of Maca chips for about an hour and add to oatmeal or other warm breakfast cereal
  • Simmer ½ cup of Maca chips for about an hour and add them to a smoothie
  • Steep Maca chips in hot water for 10 minutes to make a tea – add sweetener as desired

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

By Michelle Gebbia

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
