About BLUE CORN TACO SHELLS, BLUE CORN
Simple Truth Blue Corn Taco Shells are a baked corn-based product sold under the Simple Truth brand, The Kroger Co.'s organic and natural private-label line available across Kroger, Ralph's, King Soopers, Fred Meyer, Harris Teeter, and City Market stores. Taco shells are rigid, U-shaped corn tortilla products made by frying or baking masa harina; this product uses blue corn masa and is baked rather than fried, consistent with Simple Truth's natural product approach.
The ingredient list contains three items: organic blue corn masa flour, organic expeller-pressed sunflower oil and/or organic expeller-pressed safflower oil, and a trace of lime. Organic blue corn masa flour is produced from blue corn (a variety of Zea mays with naturally occurring anthocyanin pigments providing the blue-purple color) that has been nixtamalized — treated with lime (calcium hydroxide) — a pre-Columbian process that improves nutritional bioavailability, particularly lysine and niacin. The expeller-pressed oil designation means the oil is mechanically extracted without chemical solvents, consistent with organic and natural product standards. The trace of lime is a residual from the nixtamalization step.
Per 100 grams, these taco shells provide 462 calories, 7.69 grams of protein, 53.85 grams of carbohydrates, 26.92 grams of fat, and 11.5 grams of fiber — notably high fiber for a corn product, reflecting the whole-grain character of masa flour relative to refined corn products. The product is certified organic, vegan, gluten-free (assuming no cross-contact), and free of dairy, eggs, soy, and tree nuts based on listed ingredients. Calorie density is high given the oil content from baking.
