Production & Sourcing
Harvesting and Cleaning: Maca roots are harvested when they have reached maturity. The roots are carefully dug out of the ground and cleaned to remove any dirt or impurities.
Gelatinization: The cleaned Maca roots undergo a process called gelatinization. This involves cooking the roots at a specific temperature for a specific duration. Gelatinization helps break down the starches in the Maca root, making it easier to digest and increasing its bioavailability.
Drying: After gelatinization, the Maca roots are dried. Spray drying is a common method used, where the gelatinized Maca is transformed into a fine powder through a process of atomization. The gelatinized Maca is sprayed into a hot chamber, where the water content evaporates, leaving behind dry particles of Maca powder.
Milling and Packaging: Once the Maca powder is dry, it goes through a milling process to ensure a consistent and fine texture. This step helps produce a smooth and easily dispersible powder.
And you have your Spray-Dried Maca Powder!
