What Makes Masa Special

For centuries, people have used the ancient method of nixtamalization to prepare their corn. This technique, which involves cooking and steeping dried kernels in an alkaline solution (water and calcium hydroxide, also known as slaked lime), unlocks a range of nutritional benefits. Our Heirloom Corn Masa Harina is a just-add-water way to make delicious corn tortillas and more, while retaining all the nutritional goodness from nixtamal like fiber, magnesium, calcium, and niacin. Let’s get cooking!
