What it is

Stone ground yellow corn masa flour is a type of corn flour made from dried hominy, which is corn that has been treated with an alkali solution (nixtamalization). This process makes the corn more nutritious and easier to digest. The corn is then ground into a coarse flour.

Why it's used

Masa flour is a key ingredient in many Mexican and Tex-Mex foods, providing a distinct corn flavor and texture. It is used to make tortillas, tamales, and tortilla chips. Manufacturers use it for its binding and structural properties in doughs and batters.

Health notes

Stone ground yellow corn masa flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and some fiber. Nixtamalization increases the availability of niacin (a B vitamin) in corn. No specific 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 flour is gluten-free.
