  • Meet the inspiring indigenous people of Mexico that have resisted the changes brought by industralisation to produce some of the best tortillas in Mexico, nixtamal tortillas. By rejecting the use of highly processed corn flour (masa harina) and growing their own corn these people are producing some of the best tortillas in Mexico. And this is exactly the same principles we follow at La Tortilleria in Australia.

    small gripe... masa = dough, harina = flour... saying masa harina makes no sense, its like saying dough flour... harina para masa, or harina de maiz make more sense, the first is ambiguous because it can be corn or flour

      Hola Ogarza. Good point, it doesn't make much sense in Spanish. But it's how the product is commonly referred to in English speaking countries (well here in Australia at least), it's usually written on the packet as 'masa harina'. So we called it that so people would know what we are referring to.

      Well, in México everybody knows what it means, same as harina de maíz or Maseca or Minsa.

    Sad that other countries even outside the U.S. corns are GMO. In here we don’t have GMO corns, and non GMO everything. It’s illegal to import GMO crops here. Even our corn flour and corn meal are non-GMO.

    What was the town in Mexico? I’d love to visit it.

      The town is Santa Clara De Juárez in the state of Tlaxcala, very close to México City. But you will find the same kind of "molino" or corn mill in every small town or village in Central and Southern México.

      @@Lisa-yogurt You're wrong about Non-GMO maize. There is a big difference between what the ancient Indigenous people of Mexico did and modern GMO maize. You're wrong about the Aztecs as well, people long before them were the maize breeders.

      masa sent from mexico will probably spoil as it makes its way to the states. I just bought a hand mill from a local grocery, cal, and dent corn to make the masa myself.

      I just read an article about a company that has been importing heirloom corn to the states from mexico. You can buy either the whole kernel or corn flour ready to make masa with. Their website is Masienda.com I was thinking about how corn tortillas in mexico taste waaay better than in the US. That company started in 2013

      It can be white, yellow, blue or red corn, they all work the same once you nixtamalize it.
