What it is
Stone ground corn masa flour is a type of corn flour made from dried corn kernels that have been cooked in limewater (nixtamalization), then ground. This process, used for thousands of years, makes the corn more digestible and nutritious.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use masa flour as a base ingredient for many traditional Mexican and Tex-Mex foods. Its starchy texture and mild corn flavor make it ideal for tortillas, tamales, tostadas, and tortilla chips.
Health notes
Stone ground 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. The JECFA has evaluated corn and corn products, and EFSA has evaluated corn starch and corn derivatives. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
