Description
Gelatinized Premium Black Root Powder, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO and Vegan
Overview
The most potent gelatinized black maca available anywhere, this premium powder is made from 100% black maca roots that are carefully and consciously grown, processed and handled. It comes 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.
Premium Gelatinized Black Maca Powder
What makes this gelatinized black maca powder “premium” is the way in which it is processed. Instead of being sundried, maca roots are fresh processed immediately after harvest. After being carefully taken out of the ground they are graded and transported immediately to a processing facility. There, they cleaned in a citrus solution and low temperature dried. This special modern, fast processing leaves more glucosinolates and other nutrients in the final product.
After initial drying, the maca roots are then gelatinized. Gelatinization is a process in which maca is heated to high temperatures (160F / 70C). The heat causes the starch molecules in maca to irreversibly dissolve and the result is a powder that is easier to digest than raw maca.
It’s important to note that nothing is added to maca during the gelatinization process and that gelatinized premium black maca is 100% vegan. This type of maca powder:
- Comes from a modern approach to processing maca developed in the past 25 years
- Is fresh Processed - maca roots are dried in dehydrators immediately after harvest
- Has higher glucosinolate content - nutrients which may help prevent cancer
- Is much stronger tasting - has a more noticeable maca flavor with more spiciness
- Is limited in supply since it must be produced from fresh roots during annual harvest (June-August)
Advantages of Taking Premium Gelatinized Black Maca Powder
Taking maca root in powder form is by far the most popular way to enjoy it. It offers several advantages when compared to taking maca in capsule or liquid extract form.
- First, powdered maca is the most economical way to take maca root. This is because it involves less processing and manufacturing than capsules or extracts.
- Second, taking maca in powdered form is versatile. It allows you to easily add it to smoothies or drinks and to come up with your own favorite maca recipes.
- Third, in specific terms of premium gelatinized maca powder, you are able to take a bit less than standard maca powders since it is overall more nutritionally potent.
Disadvantages Of Premium Gelatinized Black Maca Powder
There really are no major disadvantages to taking premium gelatinized black maca powder with the exception of it costing a bit more. The reason it is higher in price is two-fold. First, since it is processed only once a year (at the time of harvest) it is limited in production. We must place our order for an entire year at that time. Second, the process involves more labor, specialized machinery and special testing to powder and standardize the final product.
Note: premium gelatinized black maca powder is darker in color than premium raw maca powder (due to the heat used in the gelatinization process). It is also less spicy tasting than the premium raw powder, but a bit stronger tasting than standard gelatinized black maca powder.

I’ve tried The Red maca now trying the black..Taste is fine not sure yet what effect it may have.
One of the main reasons I decided to use your product, is because it is tested.. all of these products should be tested for heavy metals and all other impurities. You seem to be a caring company , and it’s a pleasure to do business with you.

Perfect!
The product is absolutely perfect, it’s a really versatile powder with many benefits and uses, can be consumed in itself or cooked with, both of which have tremendous health benefits, I’m still just exploring the full benefits that Maca has to offer, but I firmly believe that there is lot more than just what meets the eye, maximum benefits can be seen over a period of usage, I usually use about 2 teaspoons a day, mostly cook with it, it helps with various different problems, I had some nervous breakdown issues for which I think the Maca really helped me channel my inner peace and find my zen, funny as it sounds, it’s true. Love this product, Love the Maca team, Full support!

Listen I am going to be frank and truthful. I train at high levels and when it’s time to have a drink at a party to celebrate something or someone, I also can put an equal amount of effort out. I mention this for a reason. The product you are providing is showing “real” results and I am able to perform at levels in my 50’s that astound younger people and I have had wonderful recovery time and also show an increased libido naturally. I almost don’t want to write this review as I’m afraid that more demand will cause price hikes lol. The one caveat for those looking for a quick fix, this is a product that needs to build in your system and for those that would like to engage at higher levels of performance naturally. This is when the results will be best realized, meaning when you push your workouts etc. If you’re looking for a miracle cure in a pill that can harm your own bodies ability to produce necessary hormones etc then there are many out there for you. However, if you would like a holistic experience and are willing to put in the work and allow your body to synergize with this product, this is it.
