Tri-color maca is available in several processing styles and product formats. The easiest way to choose is to work through the options step by step.
The first decision is how the maca roots are dried and whether the maca is later gelatinized (pre-cooked).
Our Raw Tri-Color Maca is made from yellow, red and black maca roots that are traditionally dried in the Andean sun after harvest. Choose raw tri-color maca if you prefer the traditional sun-dried preparation.
Because raw maca retains more of its natural starch, some people find it harder to digest. If you know you are sensitive to starch or have found raw maca difficult to digest in the past, a gelatinized product may be a better choice.
Our Premium Raw Tri-Color Maca is made from freshly harvested roots that are dried using low-temperature dehydrators rather than traditional sun drying. This produces a stronger flavor and a different drying profile from our traditionally sun-dried raw tri-color maca.
Like other raw maca, it retains more of its natural starch. If you are sensitive to starch or prefer a pre-cooked maca, consider one of our gelatinized options instead.

Our Gelatinized Tri-Color Maca is made from traditionally sun-dried maca roots that are pre-cooked before milling. This changes the starch structure of the root and produces a different texture and preparation from raw maca. Many people also find gelatinized maca easier to digest.
Shop Gelatinized Tri-Color Maca
Our Premium Gelatinized Tri-Color Maca combines our premium drying process with the pre-cooking step used to make gelatinized maca. It generally has a stronger flavor than our standard gelatinized tri-color maca.

Maca naturally grows in a range of colors, with yellow, red and black recognized as the three primary color groups. Tri-color maca combines all three, while single-color maca products are made from roots sorted by a specific color.
Historically, maca farmers harvested the different colors together and the roots were prepared and eaten together rather than separated by color. This is why we sometimes refer to tri-color maca as a heritage harvest blend. Color-specific maca products developed much later.
Tri-color maca is also sometimes described online as triple maca or a maca root blend. Product formulas can vary, so check the label to see which maca colors and proportions are actually included.
If you are deciding between the different maca colors, see our guide to Black vs. Red vs. Yellow Maca.
Tri-color maca is a blend made from yellow, red and black maca roots. Rather than separating the roots by color, all three primary maca colors are included in one product.
Our tri-color maca contains approximately 40% yellow maca, 30% red maca and 30% black maca.
“Triple maca” is a term sometimes used for products that combine the three primary yellow, red and black maca colors. We call our products Tri-Color Maca because that more directly describes the blend. Formulas from different companies may vary, so it is worth checking the ingredients and proportions.
Traditionally, maca roots of different colors were harvested, prepared and eaten together rather than sorted into separate color groups. Our tri-color products continue that mixed-color approach, which is why we refer to them as a heritage harvest blend.
Tri-color maca contains yellow, red and black roots together. Single-color maca products are made using only one primary root color, such as yellow, red or black maca.
Raw tri-color maca is dried and milled without the pre-cooking step used for gelatinized maca. Gelatinized tri-color maca is cooked before milling, which changes the starch structure and preparation of the root.
At The Maca Team, Premium Maca refers to maca made from roots that are dried shortly after harvest using low-temperature dehydrators rather than the traditional sun-drying process.
Choose powder if you like adding maca to foods and drinks and want flexibility in how you use it. Choose capsules if convenience and avoiding the taste of maca are more important to you.
Yes. All of our tri-color maca is grown in Peru and sourced from established maca-growing regions in the Andes.
