Product Description
Bob's Red Mill Organic Masa Harina is the perfect pantry staple for lovers of Mexican and Latin American foods. It is made from certified organic corn that has been cooked, treated with limewater, and ground into a fine flour. Ideal for making tortillas, sopes, and pupusas, Organic Masa Harina results in warm and supple tortillas every time! That first perfectly smooth and pliable tortilla you make by hand is not only brag-worthy but, maybe it's just our perception, we could swear it makes the meal taste that much better. Grab a tortilla press and try for yourself today! Taco Tuesday is now more than just the meal plan, it's also a family or date night activity.
Masa, the Spanish word for "dough, " is the traditional dough used to make corn tortillas. It is made with hominy, or dried corn kernels that have been cooked and soaked in limewater, which is ground into masa. Masa harina ("dough flour") is flour made from dried masa.
The nixtamalization process (soaking in limewater) was developed in Mesoamerica thousands of years ago. It loosens the hulls from the kernel and softens the corn for grinding by breaking down the glue-like component called hemicellulose. This process also changes the structure of the corn, freeing the nutritionally rich niacin so that it can be easily absorbed into the digestive track. In addition, calcium is gained from the lime used as an alkali. The nixtamalization process also balances the amino acids, accessing more usable protein from the corn. Masa harina is most commonly used to make tortillas, but it is also featured in other delicious dishes including tamales, pupusas, and arepas.

Bought a case because of good pricing while trying out different masa brands. The flavor of Bob's is good, but the mill on it is pretty rough incomparison to other brands. Since I've got several pounds of it now, I just blend it 25/75 with a finer milled masa to work through it. I you like a right mill, I'd recommend, simply not my preference.
