Masamaiz White Heirloom Corn Masa Harina, 1kg

Masamaiz White Heirloom Corn Masa Harina is, a premium masa made from native, non-hybridised white corn varieties grown and preserved by traditional farming communities.

Unlike industrial corn, heirloom corn, known in Mexico as 'maíz criollo', comes from ancient seed lines that have been passed down through generations. These varieties are prized for their unique flavour, aroma, and nutritional richness. Each kernel reflects centuries of careful cultivation, biodiversity, and cultural heritage.

Masamaiz masa is made using the traditional nixtamalisation process, where the corn is cooked and soaked in limewater before being stone-ground into a fine flour. This age-old technique not only enhances flavour and texture but also unlocks essential nutrients and gives the masa its beautiful natural aroma.

The result is a masa harina with a delicate, slightly floral corn flavour, perfect for making authentic tortillas, tamales, gorditas and sopes. With its silky texture and subtle sweetness, this masa brings a taste of real Mexico to your kitchen.
