Masa Harina
Masa Harina is finely milled maize flour used across many cuisines — from Latin American tortillas and tamales (when nixtamalized as masa harina) to baking and thickening in soups and sauces. It is primarily a starchy ingredient and provides a moderate amount of fiber at 7.3g per 100g. While not a major source of protein, it does contribute some B vitamins and minerals typical of grains, and the nixtamalized forms (masa) can improve mineral availability and flavor.
