What it is
Organic yellow corn masa flour is made from dried, specially processed corn kernels. The corn is nixtamalized, a process involving soaking and cooking in an alkaline solution, which makes it more nutritious and easier to digest. The nixtamalized corn is then ground into a fine flour.
Why it's used
Masa flour is a key ingredient in many traditional Mexican foods, providing structure and a distinct corn flavor. It is used to make tortillas, tamales, and chips. Manufacturers use it for its binding properties and characteristic taste.
Health notes
Organic yellow corn masa flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some fiber. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated corn-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
