Description

Gelatinized Yellow Maca Root Powder, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, GMO-Free, Vegan and Gluten Free

Our gelatinized yellow maca root powder is made from Peruvian grown yellow maca roots. Yellow maca is the most common of all 3 of the major maca colors, making up about 60% of each year’s harvest. This particular yellow maca powder has been gelatinized or pre-cooked in a specialized process which dissolves starch content, which makes the final product easier to digest. Nothing is added to the powder during this process and it remains 100% plant-based and suitable for vegetarians and vegans alike.

What Makes Our Gelatinized Yellow Maca Powder Special

Like all of our maca products our gelatinized yellow maca powder is made from maca roots that are carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled. The roots come from an organic farming cooperative in and around Junin, Peru which is the traditional home of maca. 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.

We also take great care to provide the freshest maca possible by ordering in small batches and carefully packaging our products.

Understanding Gelatinized Maca

Gelatinized yellow maca is made from yellow maca roots, which range in color from beige to gold. These roots are pre-cooked to remove starch content and ease digestion. It takes about 4 kg of maca roots to produce 1 Kg of yellow gelatinized maca powder, making it more concentrated than raw maca products.

Gelatinized maca is the easiest maca to digest and best for anyone with a sensitive stomach.
A special process heats the roots is to remove the starch content, making gelatinized maca more concentrated than raw maca.
Some nutrients including active metabolites are activated and amplified due to the heat and pressure used in processing gelatinized maca.
Consumed daily for over 2000 years to boost energy, support focus and concentration, promote fertility and more…

Who We Recommend Gelatinized Yellow Maca Powder For:

Our gelatinized yellow maca powder is a great choice for anyone just starting with maca. Since it’s gelatinized, it will be easier to digest for most people. About 5% of people have minor stomach irritability, gas or bloating when using raw maca products. Gelatinized maca does not produce this effect at all. Gelatinized yellow maca also has a more mild taste than other maca colors, which makes taking it for most people much easier. The major benefits associated with adding yellow maca to your diet are:

Increased energy
Hormone balance
Better focus
Improved mood
Increased drive
Stronger hair and nails
Muscle building

How To Use Gelatinized Yellow Maca Powder

There are several easy ways to use gelatinized maca powder. This simplest is to add it to water or milk or yogurt. But if you’d like to get more creative that’s certainly possible too.

We have a large variety of recipes for smoothies using maca. Here’s one of our favorites:

• 1-3 tsp gelatinized yellow maca powder
• 2 tsp apple pie spice
• 3-4 ice cubes

Directions: Add all the ingredients to a high-speed blender and mix until smooth and creamy. Sip and enjoy!

Another way to use gelatinized yellow maca powder is to add it to some of your favorite baked goods. It’s simple and easy to add a couple of tablespoons to a pancake, muffin or even cookie recipe.

A final note on using maca in powdered form: we also have gelatinized yellow maca in capsule form if you would rather avoid taking it in powder form.

I like the taste of the yellow maca

Posted by rebecca on 15th Nov 2016

I like the taste of the yellow maca. I add it to my smoothie every morning. I haven't noticed any changes in my health, which I REALLY hope it will do.

Outstanding!

Posted by Sarah T. on 3rd Nov 2016

I've never tried Maca before, so I was a little skeptical. I've been consistently eating it for 2 weeks at breakfast and can really feel a difference! Great product! Awesome customer service!

so far so good

Posted by michelle on 25th Aug 2015

I'm taking Maca to replace my brith-control that regulates my hormones. so far I haven't had any side effects from coming off the pill. I will know more in a few weeks. also I have tried other Maca products from other companies and I can tell that the Maca team has better quality and more potent product. thank you

Great cooked Maca!

Posted by Jason on 15th Jun 2015

Before trying cooked Maca over the raw I thought the cooked would not be as effective at increasing libido as the raw, boy was I wrong!!!. The cooked maca from the maca team is excellent! but after giving the cooked kind a try I can see It works just as effective without any stomach issues. And like they say in only about 5% have some minor discomfort with the raw maca. I love the Geltinized Maca a lot from the Maca team. Get some for yourself but also take less because its stronger.

Great taste and very effective with no GI issues

Posted by George W. on 15th Jun 2015

Had to switch to the gel variety due to GI issues with the raw product. I find the taste better with this variety and find the potency equal or perhaps even enhanced. I use less of the product for the same results (hormonal balancing)

The Maca Team are light years ahead of anyone else selling maca out in the marketplace

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!

By Jim Price, The Green Marketing Guru

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 :) )

By Lizzie Thompson

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.

By George & Sherri

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.

By J.D.

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?!?!!!

By Janis Ihrig

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.

By Adam Holt

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.

By Bob

I must say this is the best tasting Maca I have tried!!

By Stormi Evans

First I would like to say I love this product. I was very skeptical about a natural product with so many benefits but this stuff really works. Second, I love this company. From the web site to the way they run their company this a top-notch team. I will be ordering from The Maca Team from now on. Great job guys keep doing what you are doing.

By Darren Rivers Sr.

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 :)
