Corn, or maize, is one of the oldest cultivated crops in North America. It is a gluten-free product that is used to make a variety of items from alcohol to cornmeal and flours . Blue corn with its earthy flavor is also known as Hopi Corn. The namesake comes from the Hopi, a Native American tribe most closely associated with the cultivation of blue corn.

Masa is Spanish for dough and masa harina, the flour used to make masa, is created from cooked dried corn kernals also known as hominy. Our Blue Corn Masa Flour has a hint of lime from the nixtamalization process (in which the grain is soaked in limewater after cooking to break down the cell walls, making its nutrients more absorbable). While there is yellow masa, white masa, and blue masa, the blue variation is the most colorful and fun of the three. However, it isn’t as sweet as white or yellow masa.
