heirloom yellow corn masa harina

Our best-selling Heirloom Blue Corn Masa Harina is a fine-ground nixtamalized corn flour perfect for making not just tortillas but also other favorites like tostadas, tamales, pupusas, arepas and more. Its deep flavor comes from high quality heirloom corn, which is cooked, slow dried and milled to perfection in small batches. Never genetically modified. Always gluten-free.

Have you ever enjoyed a corn tortilla? Tamales? How about a tostada, sope, or pupusa? If you answered yes to any one of these, ¡salud! You’re already a card-carrying member of the masa club. Masa is the Spanish word for dough. But if you’re using the word anywhere in Mexico, Central America, or even the United States, it specifically refers to the special dough prepared from stone-ground, nixtamalized corn. It’s an ancient, flavor-packed superfood that forms the building block of hundreds of dishes found throughout Latin American cuisine, from tetelas to tlacoyos, arepas to atole, and of course … the taco.
