MASA Tortillas Yellow Masa Harina
1kg bag
At last – the one we’ve been waiting for. Yellow Masa Harina is still relatively hard to find in the UK, so we’ve been excited to add it to the MASA range.
Our Yellow Masa Harina is a carefully selected blend of premium nixtamalised yellow corn flours, chosen to give you a soft, workable masa with plenty of natural corn flavour.
Compared with white masa harina, yellow corn has a slightly fuller, nuttier flavour and a naturally warm golden colour. That colour comes entirely from the corn itself – there are no artificial colours or flavourings.
Masa harina is made from corn that has undergone nixtamalisation, the traditional process at the heart of tortilla making. Add water and salt and it forms a soft, pliable masa ready to press into fresh corn tortillas at home.
It’s also a brilliantly versatile ingredient for Mexican and Central American cooking. Use it for tamales, gorditas, sopes, pupusas and plenty of other corn-based dishes.
How to make corn tortillas: Add water gradually to the masa harina with a pinch of salt and mix until you have a soft, pliable dough that holds together without sticking excessively or cracking around the edges. Divide into balls and flatten using a tortilla press or between two flat surfaces.
Cook each tortilla in a hot, dry frying pan or comal, turning until cooked through with some light browning. Stack the cooked tortillas immediately in a tortilla warmer or clean folded tea towel so the trapped steam keeps them warm, soft and flexible.
White, yellow or blue? White masa harina has the mildest, most familiar corn flavour. Yellow has a slightly fuller, nuttier character and naturally golden colour, while blue corn has a more distinctive earthy, nutty flavour and darker appearance. All three can be used for traditional corn tortillas and other masa-based dishes.
