What it is

White corn masa flour is a type of flour made from dried white corn that has been treated with an alkali process called nixtamalization. This process makes the corn more digestible and improves its nutritional value. The nixtamalized corn is then ground into a fine flour.

Why it's used

White corn masa flour is a staple ingredient in many Mexican and Central American dishes. It is used to make tortillas, tamales, pupusas, and various types of chips and snacks. Its starchy nature helps bind ingredients together and provides a distinct texture and flavor.

Health notes

White corn masa flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. Nixtamalization increases the availability of niacin, making it less likely to cause pellagra. The WHO/IARC has not classified corn masa flour.

Allergen info

White corn masa flour is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
