What You Should Know

You'd find this bag tucked in the ethnic foods or baking aisle — or on a shelf at a farmers' market — ready to be used for weekend tortillas or holiday tamales. It gives a wholesome, nostalgic vibe that evokes homemade corn breads and family meals. With a single ingredient (heirloom corn) and only trace lime from traditional nixtamalization, the product is minimally processed and likely has a coarse, authentic masa texture rather than characteristics of an ultra-processed food.
