Specifications

Explanation and differences to Maca powder dried and Maca powder gelatinised:

Gelatinisation

Sliced Maca roots are pressed through an extruder (two counter-rotating threaded screws), whereby the starch chains (Maca consists of approx. 80% carbohydrates) are broken and shortened. This process is called gelatinisation. The Maca pieces are then dried at low temperature before being ground into a natural, 100% pure powder.

Advantages of gelatinised Maca powder over dried Maca powder

  • the powder is easier to digest (for people with sensitive digestion)
  • is more easily absorbed by the human organism
  • is highly soluble
  • ideal for tablet pressing
  • higher dosage, ratio: 4:1

Advantages of dried Maca powder over gelatinised Maca powder

  • Raw food product
  • contains a complete enzyme and vital substance profile
  • including mustard oil glycosides
  • this group of substances is anti-cancer and immune-boosting
