Whole-Grain Masa Harina
Whole-Grain Masa Harina is a nixtamalized whole‑grain corn flour used across Mexican and Central American cuisines for making tortillas, tamales and other traditional dishes; the nixtamalization process (alkaline cooking) gives it a distinctive corn flavor and improves nutrient availability. It is a whole‑grain ingredient that supplies about 8g of fiber per 100 g, with modest protein and low total fat, making it a more filling and nutrient‑dense choice than refined corn flours. Nutritionally it delivers some useful minerals (for example magnesium and copper) and benefits from the nixtamalization process, but it is not a major source of protein or antioxidant phytochemicals compared with some other whole grains and colorful plant foods.
