What it is
Organic white corn masa is a type of corn flour made from dried white corn kernels that have been cooked in limewater (a process called nixtamalization). This process makes the corn more digestible and easier to grind into a fine flour. It is a staple ingredient in many Mexican and Central American cuisines.
Why it's used
Masa is the primary ingredient in corn tortillas, tamales, and tortilla chips. Manufacturers use it to provide structure, texture, and a characteristic corn flavor to these foods. It is also used in some baked goods and as a thickener.
Health notes
Organic white corn masa is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and fiber. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and corn products, and their safety is supported by extensive use and scientific review. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Masa is gluten-free.
