Organic Stoneground Yellow Corn Masa Flour

Organic Stoneground Yellow Corn Masa Flour is a type of corn flour made from dried, specially processed yellow corn kernels. The corn is nixtamalized (cooked in an alkaline solution, usually with lime), then ground into a coarse flour. This process makes the corn more nutritious and easier to digest.

Masa flour is a key ingredient in many traditional Mexican and Central American foods, providing a distinct corn flavor and texture. It is used to make tortillas, tamales, and chips. Its starchy nature also helps bind ingredients together in baked goods and snacks.

Masa flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and corn products, but specific evaluations for masa flour are not always distinct. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.
