Masa, the Spanish word for "dough," is the traditional dough used to make corn tortillas. It is made with hominy, or dried corn kernels that have been cooked and soaked in lime water, which are then ground into masa. Masa harina is flour made from dried masa.
Production: to make hominy, field corn (maize) grain is dried and then treated by soaking and cooking the mature (hard) grain in a diluted solution of lime (calcium hydroxide) or wood ash, a process termed nixtamalization developed in Mesoamerica thousands of years ago. Lime and ash are highly alkaline which help the dissolution of hemicellulose (a glue-like component of the maize cell walls), loosens the hulls from the kernels, and softens the corn for grinding.
Qualities: This process also changes the structure of the corn, freeing the nutritionally rich niacin so that it can be easily absorbed into the digestive tract. In addition, calcium is gained from the lime used as an alkali. The nixtamalization process also balances the amino acids, accessing more usable protein from the corn.
Common use: Masa harina is most commonly used to make tortillas, but it is also featured in other delicious dishes including tamales, pupusas, and arepas.
Storage: keeps well in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark location

Organic Masa!
Finally someone did it right! I have been searching hard for good organic masa for homemade tortillas. This masa in non gmo and organic. It's milled correctly and the tortillas puff up like they should when making the tortillas. The flavor is that authentic corn flavor and the masa is easy to work with. Thank You Essential Organics!!

The best flour..
I love this corn flour to make my tortillas. I tried other brands but when kneading the dough, it always feels lumpy and the tortillas come out hard. I like the quality of Masa Harina because it’s very fine and ease to handle and at the end I get soft tortillas with a delicious flavor. I have never received a rancid or rotten flour. It always tastes fresh and unique.

Fresh and flavorful masa harina
Ordered small quantity to try for weekly tortillas. Best enchiladas ever, tender and flavorful. I plan to order more in the near future. This replaces my current source of masa harina from a popular cooperative. Essential organic has a much better product and is delivered to my door...big winner for this home cook living in the middle of nowhere! I look forward to ordering more masa harina and trying other grains for my long-term food storage. Thanks for offering such good quality organic flours.
