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 lime (calcium hydroxide) water, which are then ground into masa. Masa harina is flour made from the cooked, dried masa.
Production: Field corn (maize) grain is dried and then treated by soaking and cooking the mature (hard) grain in a diluted solution of lime (calcium hydroxide) or wood ash, a process termed nixtamalization developed in Mesoamerica thousands of years ago. Lime and ash are highly alkaline which help the dissolution of hemicellulose (a glue-like component of the maize cell walls), loosens the hulls from the kernels, and softens the corn for grinding.
Qualities: This process also changes the structure of the corn, freeing the nutritionally rich niacin so that it can be easily absorbed into the digestive tract. 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.
Common use: Masa harina is most commonly used to make tortillas, but it is also featured in other delicious dishes including tamales, pupusas, and arepas.
Storage: keeps well in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark location

Brad W. CanadaVery tasty Masa
I was recently gifted a tortilla press and wanted to make home made tacos. Masa is very high quality and ground to a great texture, Used Bob's red hill before but found it too course to my liking. This OM masa made beautiful textured soft tacos that my dinner guests absolutely raved over. Would purchase again this product again.
