Masa harina is a unique kind of flour made from maize that has been cooked in lime water through a process called Nixtamalization invented by the Aztecs thousands of years ago. The maize is finely ground and then dried and sieved to form a flour.

It has a more intense and nuttier flavour than white corn masa with a dusky hue.
Masa harina can be used to make corn tortillas, tamales, sopes, pupusas, gorditas, empanadas and many more Mexican dishes…
