About Corn flour, yellow, masa, enriched
Yellow masa harina is corn flour that has been nixtamalized, meaning the corn was cooked in an alkaline lime-water solution before drying and milling. That process does more than change the texture. It increases the bioavailability of niacin, improves the amino acid profile, and adds calcium from the lime. Fiber is meaningful. The result is the essential ingredient for corn tortillas, tamales, sopes, and gorditas. Masa harina hydrates with warm water and a bit of salt to form a pliable dough that can be pressed and cooked on a comal in minutes. Nothing else quite replicates its flavor.
