Nutritional Benefits

Whole yellow corn is a wholesome source of complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber, plus a modest amount of plant-based protein to help round out a meal.

It naturally supplies minerals and B vitamins, and its golden color reflects carotenoids. Once nixtamalized with cal, its niacin becomes more available to the body.

Naturally gluten-free, vegan & plant-based, with no additives.


How to Cook

To make golden masa, nixtamalize the corn: simmer the kernels in water with food-grade cal (calcium hydroxide), let them steep, rinse well, then grind into fresh masa for tortillas, tamales and atole.

Whole kernels can also be simmered into hominy, pozole or ground for grits and polenta. Rinse before cooking and adjust water as needed.


Recipes

Golden Corn Tortillas – Nixtamalize, grind into masa, press and griddle for fragrant, golden tortillas.

Atole – Blend fresh masa into warm milk or water with cinnamon and sweetener for a comforting drink.

Tamales – Mix masa with fat and broth, fill, wrap in husks and steam.


FAQ

Is it vegan & gluten-free? Yes — it is 100% whole corn, naturally gluten-free, vegan and plant-based.

How should I store it? Keep in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to protect against moisture and pests.

Do I need cal to make masa? Yes — nixtamalizing with food-grade cal develops masa's texture, flavor and aroma.

How much masa will it make? Yield varies with soaking and grinding, but corn roughly doubles in weight once nixtamalized and hydrated.
