What Is Gelatinized Black Maca Powder?

Gelatinized black maca powder is made exclusively from black maca roots rather than yellow, red or a blend of maca colors. Our black maca comes from an organic farming cooperative in and around Junín, Peru, one of the traditional maca-growing regions of the Andes.

After harvest, the maca is processed to remove much of its natural starch before being milled into a fine powder. This gives gelatinized maca a different preparation and texture from raw black maca powder.

What Does Gelatinized Maca Mean?

Gelatinization is a preparation process in which maca is heated and pressurized to break down and remove much of its naturally occurring starch. Because raw maca retains those starches, some people find a gelatinized maca powder easier to digest.

“Gelatinized” does not mean gelatin has been added. The term describes the processing method only. Our gelatinized black maca contains no animal ingredients and remains completely plant-based and vegan.
