Bob's Red Mill Golden Masa Harina is corn flour made from nixtamalized corn, which is corn soaked in limewater. Masa is the Spanish word for dough, and masa harina is flour made from dried masa.
It is the traditional flour for homemade corn tortillas and tamales, and it is also used for pupusas and arepas. The soaking process, called nixtamalization, was developed in Mesoamerica thousands of years ago. It loosens the hulls from the kernels and softens the corn for grinding.
