For clarity, corn needs to be nixtamalized to be formed into a tortilla. Without this process of adding calcium citrate it will just be a clumpy corny mess. I have no clue how the mayans figured this out, but they soaked the corn in slaked lime and wood ashes that contain the compound to break down and unlock the nutrients and protiens in corn, and also discovered that this made the ground dried corn left over suitable for a type of flour when ground up and formed into a tortilla (or tamale)

Thanks for this, loved my grandmother’s corn tortillas from scratch, she was a 100 years old in 1986 when she passed and I have not had this flavor in my mouth since I was 18, ,,, thanks again !

I've making masa from scratch for about 6 months. This last time I forgot to add the lime. The masa was super hard to grind but there was no difference in mouth-feel or taste. (Corona hand mill grinder - 35 minutes EXACTLY ((light simmer)) - then cover tightly - leave until the next day)

I've just started boiling my first batch of corn :) I'm wondering though, can I add a pinch of salt to the masa?

[millamaenpaa]

So what kind of corn do you need to have to make this? I'm from Northern Europe so we don't have same things sold at the market as u do.
Can i use canned corn or does it need to be fresh?

Hello, is the calcium citrate really necessary?

[ronbranch]

I'm catching up on all your recent vids. Now I wanna lock myself in the kitchen and cook!

Those look so much better than mine.... I'm definitely going to make my own Masa next time.

Hi thanks for your video please how long can they stay in the fridge . And if the bread is taken out from the fridge will it become thick and dry or will they stay soft ? thanks.

[cortneyhernandez]

Awesome!!!! You won’t believe how difficult it is to find vids on nixtamal into tortillas!
Question: how long do you grind? I’ve tried a food processor before and it turned out very sandy and wouldn’t come together like a dough.
