Masienda Heirloom Red Corn Masa Harina/Flour. Nixtamalized Corn Flour Perfect for Corn Tortillas, Tamales, Tostadas, Pupusas, Arepas and More. Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Preservative-Free. 2.2 Pounds.

This is, at last, access to masa harina made from ancestral corn! It mixes differently, it feels differently as you make your tortillas (or tamales!), and it tastes great. Ancestral corn flour only contains the lime needed to create the flour, which adds calcium; commercial masa harina can sometimes have a bit of wheat flour added, and we don't want that. There should be no gluten in masa harina. While the cost may seem pricey, you are getting a genuine item, a kind of ancestral corn that could disappear unless someone cares about it. The tortillas it makes are magnificent! (You can also make or purchase a champurrado mix with this great corn.)

I made, hands down, the best corn tortillas I’ve ever had with this masa. I’m planning my next order RN.

Works well for intended purpose

I don't know how they did it, but this red corn masa made our tamales taste the way we remembered them as kids. Before we stopped making them, before there were parking lot veijitas in my town that made my mom's life easier, before we knew what missing out on that time together meant. Before dementia took my mom's recipe; we started again too late to save it. Every year for the last ten years we have been working hard to get closer and closer to that taste, to that place. This year, we closed the final distance with the red corn masa. Now our little gueritos running around, who don't remember a time without tamales, know the exact taste from my mama's kitchen. Maybe we will even write the recipe down this year. Gracias

I’ll never go back to any other brand. I’ve made papusas and tortillas. Always chef’s kiss!
