Description
Gelatinized Premium Tri-Color Maca Root Powder, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO and Vegan
What Is Premium Gelatinized Tri-Color Maca Powder?
Premium gelatinized tri-color maca powder is made from a blend of the three primary maca root colors—yellow, red, and black (Lepidium meyenii). These roots are grown in the high Andes of Peru and are traditionally consumed together as part of the Andean diet.
This product is both premium processed and gelatinized. Premium processing means the roots are handled immediately after harvest and gently dried at low temperatures. Gelatinization refers to a traditional preparation method where maca is heated and pressurized to remove most starch content, producing a powder that many people find easier to digest.
Overview
Our premium gelatinized tri-color maca root powder is made from Grade A maca roots grown by an organic farming cooperative in and around Junín, Peru—the traditional home of maca cultivation. The cooperative consists of farmers who manage their land locally and follow long-standing agricultural traditions that emphasize soil stewardship and organic growing practices.
This maca powder contains a balanced blend of approximately 40% yellow, 30% red, and 30% black maca roots. The blend reflects how maca has traditionally been consumed in the Andes, where different root colors were eaten together rather than separated.

Understanding Premium Maca Processing
Premium maca refers to a preparation method where freshly harvested maca roots are processed soon after harvest rather than first being dried in the sun. The roots are cleaned, ground into a pulp, and then dried at controlled low temperatures.
This process produces a powder with a more pronounced maca flavor and preserves naturally occurring plant compounds such as glucosinolates. Because the roots must be processed immediately after harvest, premium maca production is limited to the annual harvest season.
How Gelatinized Maca Differs From Raw Maca
Gelatinization is a preparation technique in which maca root is heated and pressurized to break down and remove most of its natural starch content.
- Easier digestion: many customers prefer gelatinized maca because it is often gentler on the stomach than raw maca
- More concentrated by weight: removing starch changes the composition of the final powder
- No gelatin added: the name refers only to starch gelatinization and contains no animal products
- Different nutritional profile: heat processing alters the composition of some naturally occurring nutrients
Who Often Chooses Premium Tri-Color Maca?
Customers who choose premium tri-color maca often appreciate the combination of the three maca root colors along with the unique flavor created by fresh processing.
Because it is gelatinized, this product is also commonly chosen by people who prefer a maca powder that is easier to digest than raw maca. Many customers enjoy using it in smoothies, beverages, and recipes as part of a balanced diet.
Flavor and Considerations
Premium maca powders tend to have a stronger and more distinctive flavor than standard sun-dried maca powders. Some people enjoy the taste, while others prefer to mix it into smoothies or recipes to soften the flavor.
If you prefer a more convenient format or want to avoid the flavor entirely, you may also consider our premium gelatinized tri-color maca capsules.

It’s okay
I LOVE this company and have had AMAZING results with previous types of their macas, ie yellow, red, and the sundried trio. Of course I know they all taste different. So I tried this one because I took a long break from maca and wanted to restart for energy. This one has a “bite” to it and doesn’t dissolve well in liquid. I am still slowly increasing my dose and haven’t yet felt like it was helping me with energy. But it could be that my body does better with red or yellow maca. I’ll finish it over the next few months but will probably go back to red maca.

Renewed Energy
My husband and I have used this product on and off for several years. I always ask myself why we stop because the benefits are great. The renewed energy and increased libido are only two of the positive results. We just get careless about taking it with us when we travel. Our bad. Need to make it a staple and this last time we both agree that it's a must.

Non-gym day recovery boost !
Used the raw maca (premium) before, this time the gelatinized....could be me,but this feels a bit stronger,so I use it on non-gym days by itself. On gym days I use other supplements,and like to keep them separate. Not a huge difference with digestion.... I also use ashwaganda for thyroid issues,so I try to use that at different times. I usually mix in a cup of cashew milk with stevia tumeric,and vanilla...... P.S. Nice quality family buisness !

Fresh and Delicious
First time I've tried this product with this company. I'm very pleased with the freshness of the product, and it was shipped out promptly.

Great product.
I love the Maca Powder from The Maca Team. I appreciate that it is gelatinized, I have had no stomach issues. I got the Premium Maca Root Powder this time. I can't say that I notice a difference in the way that I feel, the taste is different than the Yellow gelatinized. I personally like the taste and how the yellow made me feel better- but it is always worth changing things up from time to time to see how something else works.

Wish I had noticed the iodine content before ordering
I don't doubt the quality of this product, however a word of caution is in order for anyone (like me) with autoimmune thyroid conditions where iodine is a big no-no. The iodine content was enough to send me into a severe tailspin for 3+ weeks and counting. Very scary and dangerous. I would not have thought to look for iodine in a root vegetable, and did indeed miss seeing it on the nutritional label until it was too late. While in most cases maca may be a positive addition, a small word of warning somewhere about this issue would be helpful for those of us who are foggy-brained.
