Description
Gelatinized Tri-Color Maca Root Powder, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO, Vegan and Gluten Free
What Is Gelatinized Tri-Color Maca Powder?
Gelatinized tri-color maca powder is made from a traditional blend of the three primary maca root colors: yellow, red, and black (Lepidium meyenii). For most of maca’s long history of cultivation in the Andes, the roots were consumed together rather than separated by color.
This product follows that traditional approach by combining approximately 40% yellow, 30% red, and 30% black maca roots. The roots are then gelatinized — a preparation process that reduces starch content and produces a powder many people find easier to digest.
Overview 
Our gelatinized tri-color maca powder is produced from organically grown maca roots cultivated near Junín, Peru — the traditional growing region of maca. These roots are harvested by an organic farming cooperative that manages the land locally using long-standing agricultural practices.
The final powder contains only pure Peruvian maca root with no fillers, additives, or preservatives.

What Is Gelatinization?
Gelatinization is a preparation method used to reduce the natural starch content of maca root. During this process, maca roots are briefly heated under controlled conditions. The heat causes the starch molecules to break down and dissolve.
The result is a maca powder that many people find easier to incorporate into their diet compared with raw maca.
Despite the name, no gelatin is used during this process. Nothing is added to the maca roots, and the finished product remains completely plant-based.
Characteristics of Gelatinized Maca
- Starch content is largely removed during processing
- The powder is commonly considered easier to digest than raw maca
- Gelatinized maca has a more concentrated flavor than raw maca

Who Typically Chooses Tri-Color Maca?
Tri-color maca is a popular choice for people who want to experience the traditional combination of maca root colors in a single product.
Because the roots are blended rather than separated by color, tri-color maca powders are also typically more economical than single-color varieties.
How To Use Gelatinized Maca Powder
The simplest way to use maca powder is to mix it into a beverage of your choice. Many people add it to smoothies, plant-based milks, yogurt, or breakfast foods such as oatmeal.

Great stuff !!!!
I love the stuff my first time I saw maca was at a flea market in South Carolina while on vacation ,paid a big five bucks best five bucks I spent in many years . By the time I got home 5-6 days later my body totally detoxed and I was on my way to feeling better . Since then my blood pressure and heart rate has really improved . Along with mental , emotional and memory has improved . I have only been taking maca since may . So I highly recommend maca I use the heritage harvest blend so I and my husband will get all the benefits of maca .

Curiosity Satisfied!
Overall it's a great product, easy to use and mix in with your food or drink. I had heard about maca powder and was curious about it, and so far I'm pleased that, while it does add a flavor to my tea, it's not one that's unpalatable.

MACA ROOT POWDER
Overall the product tastes pretty good. I have progressed up to 1 tablespoon a day over the past 3 weeks. Unfortunately I haven't noticed any difference with any of the effects of taking MACA. I would like to say that customer service is fantastic. Great to help with quick responses. Another thing to consider is that I have not tried any other MACA products. I am still excited to take this product and will continue to use it. Hopefully I can leave another review in a month (they mention it might take up to 6 weeks to see its benefit). I am also curious to try it in recipes but not sure how much I can increase over the recommended amount per day.

Gelatinized Premium Black Maca
Been using Maca for a year or so. I usually mix a heaping spoon full of Black Maca with water first thing in the morning before I go to the gym. I find that Black Maca gives me more energy and stamina. I'm 57 years old, and can make guys half my age "fall out" trying to out lift or out pace me in the cross-fit class I take... If I ever skip a day taking Black Maca, I feel it... the "reserves" are not in my tank. The only reason I gave the Gelatinized Black Maca 4 stars vs 5. is I prefer the "earthy taste" of the raw black maca. Both varieties work well. Look at it as a "super food", there is serious nutrition here. It works.
