Premium Gelatinized Red Maca: Organic Peruvian Fresh-Processed Pre-Cooked Red Maca

Premium gelatinized red maca is made from 100% red maca roots. This type of maca is pre-cooked after drying, creating a distinctive gelatinized red maca product with a rich flavor and a different preparation style than raw maca.

How Is Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Different?

Compared to standard sun-dried red maca, premium gelatinized red maca stands out mainly because it is fresh processed soon after harvest. After the roots come out of the ground, they are cleaned, processed, dried at low temperatures, and then gelatinized.

Gelatinization is a process in which maca is heated to about 160F / 70C. This changes the starch content of the root and creates a pre-cooked maca product with a different texture, flavor profile, and preparation style than raw maca. Nothing is added during gelatinization, and premium gelatinized red maca remains entirely vegan.

About Red Maca

Red maca is one of the three main maca root color categories, alongside yellow maca and black maca. Many customers choose red maca because it is a single-color maca product with a mild, slightly sweeter taste than many other maca products.

Like all authentic maca, red maca is grown in the Peruvian Andes under harsh high-altitude conditions. After harvest, the roots are separated by color and prepared into different product formats such as powder, capsules, chips, and extract.

In our experience, red maca is often the sweetest and gentlest tasting of the main maca colors, which makes it especially popular for recipes and everyday use.

• Yellow Maca – the most common and traditional maca variety
• Red Maca – a less common color often used in specialized maca blends
• Black Maca – the rarest of the three primary maca colors
• Tri-Color Maca – a traditional blend of all three maca root colors
