Description
Raw Premium Tri-Color Maca Root Powder, Certified Organic, Fair Trade, Non-GMO, Vegan and Raw
Overview
Our Premium Raw Tri-Color Blend Maca Root Powder is a blend of the the major colors of maca root: black, red and yellow. It is made from 100% grade A maca roots that are grown on farms in Peru that are dedicated to organic and traditional growing methods. These roots are fresh processed shortly after harvest to preserve as many nutrients as possible. The resulting powder is nutritionally potent, but is spicier in taste than standard sundried maca. It is a good choice for individuals who already have experience with maca root products and are looking to try something new.
Premium Tri-Color Maca Powder:
We call this tri-color maca blend “Heritage Harvest” because people in the Andes have traditionally eaten all maca colors together. It was only in the late 1990s that maca roots started being separated by color. That’s because the three color ranges, yellow, red and black have been shown to have slightly different properties and nutrient profiles. One advantage of taking tri-color maca powder is that it gives you benefits of all three of these colors.
What makes this maca “premium” is the way in which it is processed. Instead of being sundried, freshly harvested maca roots are processed immediately. After coming out of the ground they are cleaned in a citrus solution, ground into a pulp and low temperature dried. This special processing leaves more glucosinolates in the final product. The level of glucosinolates is standardized at above 1% in our raw premium tri-color maca powder.
This Maca:
- 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
- Is never heated over 105F / 40C
- 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)
- Costs more as the process is more labor and equipment intensive
- Is the most complete and potent all-around maca available
What Are The Disadvatages of Raw Premium Tri-Color Maca?
There are two main factors to be aware of when choosing a raw premium powder.
- Premium maca powder tastes much stronger. It has a more pungent/spicy taste than standard sundried maca. While some people enjoy the taste, it is more common for people to dislike it. If you are concerned about that, you can get the same powder in capsule form or try our standard raw tri-color maca. It’s also possible to hide the taste in some maca recipes as well.
- Premium maca costs more. Due to the special processing and limited amount of harvest dedicated to producing premium maca it is more expensive (5%-15% on average). While you may be able to take a bit less due to its potency, it does cost more up front.
Best Used For:
With a blend of about 40% yellow, 30% red and 30% black maca roots, raw premium tri-color maca powder is a great way to get benefits of all 3 colors. This is a superior all-purpose maca for both men and women who have already had some experience with maca. It contains a combination of the three different root colors and is a higher potency product. At the same time, it’s important to note that this powder is much stronger in taste.
Please note that results may vary from person to person.

I didn't saw results yet.
I didn't saw any effect or difference... and I do think like the taste. Is a little too strong to mix with my every day food. Let's see what's happen in future... if I can see some so difference.

You will notice when you stop taking Maca
Hi my name is Gem im from Australia, I am a 33 year male taking premium maca powder. I work out at the gym 6 days a week. Premium maca powder is great for energy source, however I would like to warn everyone. Its not as if your going to get an immediate buzz while taking Maca. It is slow releasing energy, meaning you have more energy through out your whole day rather then have an energy burst for an hour or two. I have also noticed its great source of protein which assist with muscle recovery. Basically Maca premium powder is a Super food and has many benefits, you will notice the benefits when you STOP using maca powder. It is very hard to judge if there is any benefits while using it. Also I take my maca powder with 250ml water and one to two tea spoons of maca powder. The taste is very ordinary but you get use to it within a week or two. I highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone that wants to have an improved lifestyle.

Undecided
In all honesty, I haven't noticed that much yet :-( .. I am a 58 year old female, 4' 11" 125 lbs. I mix about 1- 1/2 - 2 tsp in my fresh fruit/veg/protein Ninja drink daily. I bought a big order of Premium bc I want to see results. I am in menopause (which affects everything), and I take WP Thyroid supplement bc I am hypothyroid. I was really disappointed in the taste. When we stayed at a hotel, we mixed it with water, with 3 different juices, since I couldn't make a smoothie. It tasted like my puke when I am sick. I don't know if this is normal or not????? Any feedback you can give, would be awesome.

Quality Maca and Great Customer Support
Best Maca powder on the market. Thanks for doing what you do. I appreciate the note in my shipment explaining why the powder was ground finer than normal. Communication is so important, thank you.

Great Product
It took me a while to write a review because I wanted to be on the product long enough so that I can make a honest review. Well it's been 3 months . For me the product has helped a great deal with menapause. I had tried many things and to everything I have tried I had adverse reaction. With maca both with powder and pull form I have noticed not feeling as drained and have more energy. You have to give the product time. I experimented and stopped taking it for one day and noticed how I immediately felt drained. Bye the way I buy both powder and pill form for the convenience of when o travel or don't want to make a shake. I hope this helps. By the way I dint like writing reviews but I realized they are necessary especially when honest and it will help someone.
