Nixtamalization is a traditional process that involves cooking corn in an alkaline solution of calcium hydroxide, or limewater. Corn kernels are then stone-ground to create a masa, or corn dough. Masa is shaped, flattened, and baked to create tortillas. Nixtamalization dates back centuries and was also used by the Aztecs.

Taiyari tortillas are made the traditional way using 100% corn and water, that’s it! Other brands mass-produce tortillas using dehydrated corn flour, or masa harina, with some wheat flour blended into it. We think that’s no bueno. At Taiyari we are proud to revive traditional tortilla making! Learn more about our nixtamalization process here.
