Nixtamalized corn kernels 1 kg

Nixtamalized corn kernels are a form of corn used in Mexican cuisine. They are made by soaking the dried, whole corn in water with quicklime, a process called “nixtamalization.” This makes the corn more digestible, more nutritious, and also improves its taste and texture. The nixtamalized corn kernels are then ground to produce corn paste, called “masa,” which is used to make tortillas, tamales, and other traditional Mexican dishes.
