What it is

Organic corn tortillas are a type of flatbread made from dried corn kernels that have been treated with an alkali solution (a process called nixtamalization). This process makes the corn more digestible and releases nutrients. The treated corn, called masa, is then ground and mixed with water and salt to form a dough, which is pressed into thin rounds and cooked on a hot griddle.

Why it's used

Tortillas are a staple in Mexican cuisine and are used as a base for dishes like tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas. In packaged foods, they provide a grain-based component and a familiar flavor profile, often appearing in frozen meals, Mexican dinner mixes, and deli items.

Health notes

Corn is a grain and a common food ingredient. The FDA considers corn to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Whole corn contains fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Nixtamalization increases the availability of niacin (vitamin B3). JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption of corn tortillas.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
