What it is

Yellow and blue corn masa flour is made from dried corn that has been cooked in an alkaline solution (nixtamalization), then ground. This process, traditional for corn, makes the nutrients more available and improves texture. The resulting flour is often yellow or blue depending on the corn variety used.

Why it's used

Masa flour is a key ingredient in many traditional Mexican foods like tortillas, tamales, and tostadas. In packaged foods, it's used as a thickener, binder, and to provide a corn flavor and texture, particularly in snacks, soups, and salad mixes.

Health notes

Yellow and blue 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 JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and corn products, and they are considered safe for consumption. No significant health concerns are associated with its typical intake.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
