About Massa
Massa is a versatile dough made primarily from flint corn treated with lime through a process called nixtamalization, which enhances its nutritional profile. A staple in Mexican and Central American cuisine, masa serves as the foundation for dishes like tortillas, tamales, and pupusas. It is rich in carbohydrates, providing a great source of energy, and contains essential nutrients like calcium and B vitamins due to the nixtamalization process. While masa is low in fat and gluten-free, it can become calorie-dense when prepared with lard or fried. Its fiber content supports healthy digestion, making it a satisfying option for balanced diets. Whether enjoyed simply or as part of complex dishes, masa represents a nourishing link to cultural tradition and wholesome eating.
