| Blue corn masa is a Native American specialty. It has a coarser, sweeter and nuttier taste than other types of flour corns and can be used for making tamales or tortillas. Blue corn is very tiny and the yield small in comparison to white or yellow corn. As with all of our products our masa is hand-packed to order so your product is very fresh. |

| Cal (slaked lime). The Aztecs discovered that by soaking their dried corn in wood ash, the corn became easier to grind and also more digestible, thus, more nutritious. The same process is used today to "slake corn". This processed corn is called Nixtamal. It is later ground into fine or coarse meal for tortillas or tamales or used whole for making Posole. Our "cal" comes in a 1 pound cello bag. |

Note:
We only buy "premier" quality corn husks. The length of the husks will vary depending on the quality of the crop and time of year. We are unable to guarantee a specific husk length. Shorter husks can be overlapped to make larger tamales. |

| Sometimes you need a special tool for a special job. This product was designed specifically for spreading masa onto corn husks or banana leaves for making tamales. If you've ever tried to spread masa with a spoon you'll know why this tool is so perfect! To use, you pick up about 1/2 cup masa on the edge of the spreader, place the spreader on the husk (the spreader has a built in angle so you know just how to hold it) slide the spreader towards you and you get a perfect layer of masa. You can control the thickness of the masa by the pressure you apply. Made in U.S.A.
*Note, masa spreader color may vary. |
