Here’s what we offer in our Tamales & Corn Husks section:

Corn Flour for Tamales: Our specially prepared corn flour is ideal for tamale making. This flour is coarser than the masa harina used for tortillas, providing the perfect texture for tamales that hold together well while steaming.

Corn Husks: The traditional wrapper for tamales, our corn husks are dried and flattened, ready to be soaked and used to wrap your masa and fillings. They impart a subtle, earthy flavour to the tamales and help in maintaining the moisture and shape of the tamales while they cook.

With these essential ingredients, you can follow traditional recipes or get creative with your fillings, ranging from savoury meats and cheeses to sweet delights. Tamales can be made in batches and are perfect for sharing, making them a fantastic choice for gatherings.
