What it is
Organic corn tortillas are a flatbread made from organic corn masa, a dough derived from dried corn kernels that have been treated with an alkali solution (nixtamalization). This process makes the corn more nutritious and easier to digest. The masa is then pressed into thin rounds and cooked on a griddle.
Why it's used
Corn tortillas are a staple in Mexican cuisine and are used as a base for tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and tostadas. Manufacturers use them as a versatile and gluten-free alternative to wheat-based wraps and breads, often found in frozen meals, snack items, and prepared entrees.
Health notes
Corn is a grain and a source of carbohydrates. The FDA considers corn masa to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for its intended use. Whole corn contains fiber and some nutrients. Nixtamalization increases the availability of niacin (a B vitamin). JECFA has evaluated corn and corn derivatives. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption of corn tortillas.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Tortillas made solely from corn are typically gluten-free, but cross-contamination can occur during processing.
