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.

Extremely Valuable Supplement
I can hardly believe what a difference this Maca has done for me. I notice a boost in energy and concentration I haven't been able to find with other supplements. I have tried other brands of Maca, but this is the first that I could digest without difficulty in the dosages I find I need to feel the effects.

Excellent quality product
This was the 4th time I've ordered from Maca Team. And as usualy I'm not disappointed . Unfortunately this time I had to pay HST Ontario tax. It was additional 22 CAD. I hope in the future the company will have some kind of discounts for Canadian customers to equalize the costs. Maca from Maca Team works really, enchances your endurance, boosts up your energy and motivation levels and balances out your mood in a soft yet very efficient way Chris

Premium vs. Red
I usually get the gelatinized red maca and really enjoyed it. Then I saw you had Premium maca which is a blend of ask 3 types so I purchased this one thinking it would be even better. I honestly only see "yellow" maca and not anything else. When it first shipped in I had some left over Red maca and decided to pour the rest into the new package and did see a variation in color. However by itself, I didn't even see a brown shade for the "black" maca. So I'm not sure I will be reordering this premium. I also didn't notice a difference in the way it made me feel....so I will stick to my favorite red maca. Overall the quality and price is good.

Excellent
Good quality maca. The raw maca upset my stomach, so I switched to the gelatinized. I've had no problems with it.
