Organic Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Powder

Organic Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Powder

Organic Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Powder made from 100% Peruvian red maca roots.

Our Organic Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Powder is made from 100% red maca roots grown in the high Andes of Peru. This product combines two preparation methods: the roots are fresh processed soon after harvest and then gelatinized to remove most of their naturally occurring starch.

The result is a pure red maca root powder that is certified organic, Fair Trade, non-GMO and vegan. It contains no fillers or unnecessary additives and offers a lower-starch alternative to raw red maca powder.

What Is Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Powder?

Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Powder is made exclusively from red maca roots grown by an organic farming cooperative in and around Junín, Peru, one of the traditional maca-growing regions of the Andes.

Black, red and yellow are the three primary maca colors. This product contains only red maca root rather than a blend of colors. To learn more about this variety, visit our red maca guide.

What Does “Premium” Mean?

Premium refers to the way the maca roots are handled immediately after harvest. Traditionally processed maca roots are slowly dried in the mountain sun. Premium maca roots are instead transported for processing soon after harvest and dried in controlled dehydrators.

This fresh-processing method gives Premium maca a different flavor, appearance and composition from traditionally sun-dried maca. Premium maca powders generally have a more pronounced flavor and are produced in more limited quantities because fresh processing takes place around the annual harvest season.

What Does Gelatinized Maca Mean?

Fresh red maca roots from Peru before processing.

After the initial Premium drying process, the red maca is gelatinized. Gelatinization uses heat and pressure to break down and remove most of the root’s natural starch content.

Despite the name, gelatinized maca contains no gelatin. No animal ingredients are added during the process, and the finished gelatinized red maca powder remains completely plant-based and vegan.

Because much of the natural starch has been removed, many people find gelatinized maca easier to digest than raw maca. If you prefer red maca with its naturally occurring starches intact, compare our Organic Premium Raw Red Maca Powder.

Why Choose Premium Gelatinized Red Maca Powder?

This product is a good choice for customers who specifically want red maca powder that combines Premium fresh processing with a gelatinized preparation.

It offers the distinctive characteristics of fresh-processed Premium red maca while providing a lower-starch alternative to raw red maca powder. The powdered format is also easy to mix into smoothies, drinks and recipes and allows you to adjust the amount you use.

If you prefer traditionally processed gelatinized red maca rather than the Premium fresh-processed version, see our Organic Gelatinized Red Maca Powder.
