Yellow Cónico (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
Our Yellow Cónico is grown in the highlands of Atlacomulco in Estado de México and produces a light and lovely golden masa. Along with Blue Cónico and Red Cónico, classic Yellow rounds out our offerings of this delectable, versatile heirloom corn that we find ourselves reaching for again and again.
Blue Elotes Occidentales (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
With an elongated cob and large, floury kernels, Elotes Occidentales are known for their natural sweetness and light starch density, and are suitable for all masa preparations.

Though typically used for pozole and chicales, they’re prized for making sweet and colored atoles and pinoles.
Blue Cónico (Wholesale)
•
55 lb

Blue Cónico is a household favorite at Masienda, and one that has historically only been available in smaller quantities. Its deep blue color, tender texture and sweet, grassy flavor make it one of our favorites for classic applications like table tortillas.

Cacahuazintle (Wholesale)
•
44 lb
Proudly sourced from a farming community in Estado de México, Cacahuazintle is the star of pozole throughout Mexico. With a soft, floury starch and large kernel size, it blooms into a beautiful, hearty addition to any soup or stew. Our corn has not yet been nixtamalized, so make sure you process it according to your recipe. 
Red Cónico (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
Creating a lovely warm pink or light red masa, the Red Cónico varietal is a sight to behold. It’s grown in Estado de México by our partner farmer Armando, and this scarlet beauty just happens to be his favorite varietal. It makes for an excellent table tortilla.
Pink Xocoyul (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
This Tlaxacaltecan varietal of pink heirloom corn is akin to a Chalqueño, but a bit denser. While it is traditionally used for atole dulce, a warm, sweet masa beverage, Xocoyul lends itself seamlessly to a variety of masa applications, such as quesadillas with fresh quesillo or festive pink tamales.
Purple Cónico (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
The eye-catching, richly pigmented Purple Cónico (Cónico Morado) has taken our team on corn-hunts across many Mexican states. On the cob, or elote, its kernels are a beautiful inky purple hue, while it yields a masa that ranges from mauve to earthy red.
White Cónico (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
White Cónico, otherwise known as Cónico Cremoso, is a varietal that has a wonderfully creamy flavor, through and through. This varietal yields a fluffy, light yellow masa that is infinitely adaptable for applications like tortillas, tetelas, sopes, huaraches and more. If you love the pillowy texture of White Chalqueño and the body of Cónico varietals, give Cremoso a try.   
White Olotillo (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
Olotillo is a workhorse that will produce a balanced masa, no matter the final application; it contains a light, floury starch for a pillowy table tortilla and a dense enough body for making perfect tostadas, totopos and recipe tortillas (i.e., tortillas meant for enchiladas, enfrijoladas, etc.) that don’t absorb excess oil when fried.
White Jala (Wholesale)
•
55 lb

White Jala, or Jala Blanco, is known for its large and floury kernels with natural sweetness. It’s suitable for all masa preparations, and prized for pozole. When fresh, it’s a favorite choice for elote.

 

This landrace is famous for producing the world’s longest cobs that can measure up to 17 inches. Due to the tall stature of the stalk — often between 13-16 feet — it is often harvested on horseback.

 

Local competitions for the longest cob are a fun part of regional initiatives to encourage farming of this very unique landrace.

Yellow Tuxpeño (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
Hailing from Chiapas, Tuxpeño is a versatile, delicious and richly pigmented varietal. It yields a masa with the deepest shade of yellow of all our varietals (Yellow Bolita being a close second). Because it could be found across Mexico in a range of climates and growing conditions, it was well suited for seed breeding and was used to create the ubiquitous Yellow #2 breed of commodity corn grown throughout the US. We wish its genetics hadn’t been hijacked but we understand why it happened: The original Tuxpeño has an intensely corn-like flavor like no other.
Yellow Jala (Wholesale)
•
55 lb

Yellow jala, or jala amarillo, is known for its large and floury yellow kernels with natural sweetness. It’s suitable for all masa preparations, and prized for pozole. When fresh, it’s a favorite choice for elote.

This landrace corn is famous for producing the world’s longest cobs that can measure up to 17 inches. Due to the tall stature of the stalk — often between 13-16 feet — it must be hand-sown and is often harvested on horseback. Local competitions for the longest cob are a fun part of regional initiatives to encourage farming of this very unique landrace.

Yellow Olotillo (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
The sister of White Olotillo, Yellow Olotillo embodies a similar workhorse spirit yet yields a slightly darker yellow masa. Its light starch density gives it plenty of versatility, from tortillas to tostadas, tamales to arepas.
White Chalqueño (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
Chalqueño varieties — whether white or yellow — produce a pitch-perfect table tortilla. It’s tender, pillowy — ethereal, really. While White Chalqueño can be coaxed into totopos or tostadas, its highest and best use is for the kind of tender tortilla that’s perfect on its own, maybe rolled up with a bit of salt.
Yellow Bolita (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
Yellow Bolita yields a rich, beautiful yellow masa with sweeter vegetal notes that bring to mind carrots and butternut squash. Its denser starch content means it can support the structure of larger tortillas and always has a lovely toothsome finish. Also a delicious choice for pozole, polenta, and grits.
White Bolita (Wholesale)
•
55 lb

White Bolita comes from the Valles Centrales of Oaxaca and is often used for larger tortillas like tlayudas and quesadillas because of its starch density. It yields a beautiful, natural white masa with bolita’s signature sturdy composition. We also love White Bolita in pozole.

 

Bolita Belatove (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
Once at risk for extinction, Bolita Belatove may be among the rarest of heirloom corn varieties in all of Mexico. Belatove is Zapotec for “maguey worm”, which shares a similar pink hue. With the right amount of cal (no more than 1% ratio to corn), it yields a beautiful mauve masa and distinctly nutty flavor. We’re hooked.
Blue Bolita (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
Round, ‘ball-like’ Blue Bolita comes from the Valles Centrales of Oaxaca and is often used for larger tortillas like tlayudas and quesadillas because of its starch density. It yields a beautiful, warm blue masa with a sturdy composition (slightly softer than its white and yellow counterparts).
Blue Mushito (Wholesale)
•
55lb
This landrace has thrived in the highlands of Michoacán thanks to the Purépecha people. This indigenous community notably thwarted the Aztecs on numerous occasions, maintaining its independence throughout pre-Hispanic history. We're so happy they fought hard to preserve this beautiful blue corn that makes a particularly pliable, delicious blue tortilla.
Yellow Mushito (Wholesale)
•
55 lb
Our Michoacán-grown Yellow Mushito is the lightest varietal we source for masa. It's been a staple at Masienda since day one, making for a soft, pliable tortilla and delicious corundas, a triangular, sometimes oval-shaped tamal from the region. Its masa is a golden yellow color with the barnyard-y flavor of a natural cheese rind.
Red Mushito (Wholesale)
•
55lb
This landrace has thrived in the highlands of Michoacán thanks to the Purépecha people. This indigenous community notably thwarted the Aztecs on numerous occasions, maintaining its independence throughout pre-Hispanic history. We're so happy they fought hard to preserve this beautiful and vibrant red corn that makes a particularly pliable, delicious pink tortilla.
