Maseca - Nixtamalized Cornmeal

Maseca, as the world s leading cornmeal brand, is synonymous with quality and taste. The Maseca brand has succeeded in positioning tortillas around the world as a natural, healthy and nutritious food. The tortilla is not only a staple food in Mexico but is also characterized by strong cultural and emotional roots. Maseca is next to tortillas for the preparation of empanadas (stuffed dumplings), enchiladas (filled and baked tortillas), guaraches (with pinto beans and salsa filled dumplings), arepas (corn cake) and atole (corn drink with cinnamon and sugar, is often drunk for breakfast ) and much more suitable. The name comes from "Masa-seca", which means dried corn dough. Maseca is made from 100% natural corn, enriched with vitamins and minerals, and gluten-free. The special thing about Maseca is that the plantation is located in Italy in the Veneto region, which is bordered on one side by the sea and the other by mountains: within a radius of 40km some of the maize plants grow practically directly on the beach while the others grow enjoy cold mountain air. This ensures the highest quality of corn kernels.

What does "nixtamalized" mean?

The nixtamalisation of maize is an ancient processing technique from South America in which the maize kernels are cooked for hours with alkaline substances before they are suitable for further processing. This chemical process changes the properties of the grain and improves its nutritional value and the possible uses in the preparation of the dough.
