About CORN MASA FLOUR MIX
Tio Flaco Corn Masa Flour Mix is a traditional masa harina product sold under Kroger's Tio Flaco sub-brand, which is positioned toward Hispanic and Latin American food categories. Masa harina is treated corn flour produced through the nixtamalization process, in which dried corn kernels are soaked and cooked in an alkaline lime (calcium hydroxide) solution before being dried and ground. This process is fundamental to traditional Mexican and Mesoamerican corn-based foods including tortillas, tamales, and pupusas.
The ingredient list consists of white corn and traces of lime. The lime reference indicates the calcium hydroxide used in the nixtamalization process rather than the citrus fruit. Nixtamalization increases the bioavailability of niacin in corn, which is why traditional corn-dependent populations historically avoided pellagra. The product is minimally processed with no artificial additives, preservatives, or added nutrients. It is naturally free from all major allergens under FASTER Act 2023, gluten-free, and vegan.
Nutrition per 100 grams: 367 calories, 10 g protein, 76.67 g carbs, 3.33 g fat, and 6.70 g fiber. High carbohydrate content reflects the corn base; the 6.70 g fiber per 100 g is substantial and reflects the nixtamalized whole corn composition. The 10 g protein is moderately high for a grain product. Suitable for gluten-free, vegan, and allergen-free consumers.
