Why Gelatinized? Gelatinized Maca is more easily digestible and can be better digest than the regular Maca. Gelatinized process removes the starch from the Maca root, making it easily digestible for maximum nutrient absorption. The powder is very soluble in liquids, which makes it smoothly blend in smoothies and juices.
This extrusion process separates and removes the tough fiber from the roots using gentle heat and pressure, as raw maca is difficult to digest due to its thick fibers and goitrogen content. Gelatinization was developed for maca specifically to mimic the activity of cooking, and to allow gentler digestion. Gelatinized maca is employed mainly for therapeutic and supplement purposes, but also can be used like maca flour, as a flavor in cooking.
