Our organic gelatinized yellow maca powder is made from 100% yellow maca roots grown in the high Peruvian Andes. Yellow maca is the most common of the three primary maca colors and has a mild, earthy flavor that makes it a versatile choice for everyday use.
Unlike raw maca powder, gelatinized maca is traditionally processed with heat and pressure to remove most of its natural starch content. Many customers choose gelatinized yellow maca powder because they find it easier to digest than raw maca. Nothing is added during this process, and the finished powder remains 100% plant-based.
Gelatinized yellow maca powder combines the versatility of yellow maca with a preparation method many people find easier on the stomach. Its mild flavor works well in smoothies, shakes, oatmeal, yogurt, drinks and other everyday recipes.
Yellow maca naturally contains carbohydrates, fiber, plant protein, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals and distinctive maca compounds found naturally in maca root.
Gelatinized yellow maca is often chosen by people who are new to maca, have sensitive digestion, or simply prefer a pre-cooked maca powder with less natural starch. If you are comparing preparation methods, see our guide to raw vs. gelatinized maca.
This product contains only pure gelatinized yellow maca root powder from Peru. The maca roots are sourced from an organic farming cooperative and carefully processed using heat and pressure to remove most of their natural starch without adding unnecessary ingredients.
It takes approximately 4 kg of fresh maca roots to produce 1 kg of gelatinized maca powder. This makes gelatinized maca more concentrated by weight than raw maca powder while providing a different preparation style for customers who prefer less starch.
To learn more about this maca color and the different yellow maca products available, visit our Yellow Maca guide and Maca Powder guide.
The easiest way to use gelatinized yellow maca powder is to add it to smoothies, shakes, water, milk, yogurt, oatmeal or other recipes. Its mild flavor also works well in baked goods such as pancakes, muffins and cookies. For more ideas, visit our collection of maca recipes.
Note: Gelatinized maca has been pre-cooked to remove most of its natural starch. If you prefer maca in its traditional unheated powdered form, see our organic raw yellow maca powder.
At The Maca Team, we focus exclusively on high-quality Peruvian maca. We work directly with growers and producers in Peru to support careful sourcing, traditional agriculture, and consistent product quality.
Our maca is selected according to strict sourcing and processing guidelines that emphasize purity, traditional cultivation, and transparency. You can learn more about these practices on our Our Standards page.
If you would like to learn more about our story and why we focus exclusively on maca, visit our Our Company page.
Store your maca in a sealed container or sealed bag away from direct light, moisture and excess heat. Properly stored, gelatinized yellow maca powder keeps well for up to 24 months.
Gelatinized yellow maca powder is commonly used as a food. Many people begin with 3 grams daily (about 1 teaspoon) and gradually increase to 9 grams daily (about 3 teaspoons) based on preference and tolerance. Maca may be mixed with water, juice, milk, smoothies, yogurt or food. For more detailed guidance, visit our complete serving guidelines.
Gelatinized yellow maca is a versatile choice for people who prefer a mild flavor and a preparation with less natural starch. If you prefer an unheated powder, compare it with our organic raw yellow maca powder.
If you would rather take maca in capsule form, see our gelatinized yellow maca capsules.

I use the yellow gelatinized maca powder in a morning drink and it really gives me an energy lift. The gelatinized version is easy on my stomach. Great product.
Samantha (verified owner) –
This product is amazing. It’s so pure and effective. Helped balance out my hormones and made me feel like myself again. No more irritability or crabbiness. Definitely start small and work your way up to a full dose or you could have digestion issues! But minus that it’s a miracle worker!

“I’ve been taking this product for the past couple of years. I’m a 43-year-old woman and generally healthy. I’ve noticed it supports my energy levels and helps me feel more vibrant overall. I have more interest in intimacy again and the energy to do the things I enjoy. At first, I didn’t enjoy the flavor, but within a month I started craving it. I add it to my morning smoothie or shake every day. I love this company—their customer service is excellent!”

I mix this into a smoothie or my oatmeal everyday. It has a good taste! I started with a smaller serving size (1/4-1/2tsp) and building my way up from there. No issues with indigestion

Best Maca ever. The one l was taking was bitter, since l started taking this one l enjoy taking it, tastes good, does the best job. l had to buy more you know in case…
Missy J (verified owner) –
I started trying this about 1.5 yrs ago. But wasn’t consistent in taking it. My periods were getting inconsistent. I was 46.5 yrs at that point. There were often late and most of the time Long 6-7 days. But I was taking it consistently. So I started taking it consistently (daily) for the past year. And now I ALWAYS start on the day it is expected! Surprisingly nice!!!! I would recommend to anyone with an irregular period!!

This is the first time using this product. It has a malt-like scent and flavor. We are using it in smoothies with almond milk, plain yogurt, spinach, almond butter, and banana and so far are enjoying it very much. The product itself is of excellent quality. We haven’t noticed any changes in our health as of yet; however, we are hopeful that this will change and we will see positive health benefits. We are using the gelatinized yellow maca to get our bodies used to it before trying the Premium Maca Powder.

I like it. I add it to powdered peanut butter, it has an interesting taste.

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.
Sarah T. –
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!
Gina –
I love this product! I will order again.

I am very happy with this product and the changes it has brought to my life. It gives me energy everyday and helps me to keep a positive attitude, but the most important thing it has done for me is helped level out my hormones. I have suffered from PMDD for over 3 years now, and I can finally say I feel “normal and happy” now every single of my female cycle.
Donna Zirwes –
I have R.A. and lots of gastro. problems and many other issues I daughter researched this for me and so with some other things I am feeling great and no more prescription drugs .

I am on my second bag of gelatinized maca and I have to share this. For my first few months of use, my energy and mental clarity was through the roof! In the third month, my libido went into hyperspeed!

Been taking maca for several years and would usually buy it from Whole Foods or other online sources. But I started buying from Maca Team about a year ago and so far it seems like a good quality company. Website looks nice, products come in good packaging with informative brochures, organic products, farming practices are of good quality which is very important in this day and age. I also like the fact that they offer several types of maca, different preparation methods, different bag sizes and in capsules. Maca has a variety of benefits, but in general I can definitely feel an increase in energy levels, more body strength and overall feeling of calmness and balance. I have been using yellow gelatinized maca because it feels easier on digestive system.

I like the taste of the gelatinized maca powder. I use it in my smoothies.

I was doing some research on YouTube and found you product on #Naturallyife360TV, and very informative young lady! IÕve been taking this product for about a month IÕm looking forward to: hormonal balance, improve moodiness..etc. The product was greatly packaged and look and smell as described. I only gave it 4 * stars for now until IÕm two full months in and can identify changes
George W. –
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)
Ron Montanaro –
Great stuff. Nice taste. Air proof package helps keep it fresh. Nice price too.
Ron Flamm –

Very happy with the product. Have not been taking the product very long but already feeling positive effects. Great portion or the reasonable cost! I will be choosing the maca team for all my future maca product purchases.
Kari –
I have been taking Maca for a few years now and have tried several brands… some I’ve had to give away because it did not agree with my system. The Maca Team company is my #1 go-to brand and the gelatinized Maca blend is tasty and totally agrees with my system.
I also feel very grateful that there is a company that focuses on high quality Maca… and I feel personally taken care of.
I highly recommend!
Joseph –
It seems I was sensitive to the raw maca, but this is great on my digestion. The 1kg size is a great value too!
Mary –
This is a great product! And the customer service is excellent.

I am an athlete and have been using Maca for years. This is the best I have found after sampling many types and brands. The Maca Team crew also has great customer service and ships fast.

We have tried different types of Maca, we found this blend easiest to disolve and with a much better taste.

I am on my second kilo of gelatinized maca and I have to share this. For my first few months of use, my energy and mental clarity was through the roof! In the third month, my libido went into hyperspeed!
Christina (verified owner) –
I started taking this maca back in February and started with 1/4 tsp in my coffee. Each week I increased it by 1/4 tsp until I got to 1 tsp. I was amazed how it improve my energy level. I got to a point where I no longer needed coffee to help me get going in the morning! Plus my wacky “cycle” suddenly was regulated and the acne on my face cleared up! I couldn’t be happier! Even my husband noticed that my mood improved as well. I took a week break and then tried the raw red maca. But it did not have the same effect on my body. I had to return to this yellow maca, and now everything is going back to the way it was. Yay! I’m grateful for this product! Thank you Maca Team!
Trent –
The gelatinized MACA is amazing for when you don’t have time to cook the raw form. I use it in protein shakes, smoothies, or whatever I want!! It is delicious and makes me feel incredible! Thanks maca team.
michelle –
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
Jason –
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.
Stephen –
I have my MACA every morning before I do anything else and it keeps me vital and enhances my mood throughout the day. This merchant is always very helpful if needed and have fast delivery. Thanks
Larry –
I’ve tried a lot of Maca products and this is my go-to at this time.
I tried to avoid the gelatinized but, having used it now, I do think it is still highly effective (non-gelatinized is stronger in my opinion) and is easier on the gut for those of us auto-immune compromised.
The red maca is definitely “higher charged” in terms of energy quotient in case you want to head in that direction.
Simply…I can taste and sense the excellent high quality of this product and that is why I keep coming back
Melissa –
Bought Maca root after finding out it is a fertility superfood by reading various internet blogs. Supposedly the gelatinized kind (i.e., cooked) is the most authentic form, because it was traditionally consumed cooked. It tastes like smoky malt powder – I can’t taste it in my protein shakes. Nice price, nice product. Thank you.
Road to Recovery –
The quality is superb, the packaging ensures freshness and is resealable. The last scoop was just as fresh as the first one. My experience with Maca so far (a few days short of 1 month) is nothing less than a miracle. I’m using it to recover from loss of appetite and dramatic weight loss. I feel more energy, my mood is better, and my hair is no longer falling out. Within 1 week of taking just 1 big spoonful a day, I got my period back after 6 months of no period. I still have not reached my weight goals but there are improvements and my appetite is finally back. I’m so happy I’m able to recover without medication. I’m so grateful for this product, and the service the Maca Team provided. They answered all my questions and I will definitely be a customer for a long time to come. I already ordered another 1 lb, but this time the Raw Red Maca. I’m looking forward to experience any differences between the two. Extra thank you to the Maca Team for a wonderful job well done!
Relief from Academic Burnout –
This is some excellent maca! I recently discovered maca in my search for remedies to calm my nerves after law school. I find this maca does much to both calm me down and give me good, stable energy throughout the day. Also, libido is through the roof at this point. I believe I’ve tried all the different maca powder products from this company, I’d say the gelatinized and the premium are my favorite.
Another thing I noticed is that, after some weeks of maca supplementation, I have had a restoration of what feels like a “healthy competitive spirit”. After law school burnout, I felt very lackadaisical and “bleh”, but I now enjoy participating in competitive activities like I used to before academic burnout. Thank you for your quality products! -JR
Bob Whitaker –
Your Maca always tastes good! i have had some from another company that was less than appealing.I ordered the raw Maca on my first order and this time tried the gelatinized.My body prefers the latter as the raw makes me so thirsty.I will not buy Maca from anywhere else.Mark always answers any question I might have and you Maca is top shelve. Thanks for being there…Bob
Bob Whitaker –
I initially tried the raw Maca and this time thought I’d try the gelatinized.Same great caramel taste, same great energy,same freshness! What can I say,”its all good!” I know some people do Maca instead of Hormone Replacement Therapy, I do it along with it and with my doctors blessing.Maca boosts free testosterone which is what you want.It does not raise total testosterone levels or estrogen levels either.(goat weed will raise estrogen levels) Anyway guys, I’m back in fact when I reorder I’m gonna try some Black Maca too.I’m sure it’s excellent, I believe in you guys.Thanks
