Today's "word of the day". I discovered by accident when looking to purchase some Masa Harina to make some corn flat breads -- sort of like a tortilla only not so thin or fancy (at least MINE aren't fancy.!!).
nixtamalize -- the process used on corn to prepare it for grinding into Masa Harina. Also used to prepare corn for making hominy.
And all this time I thought Masa Harina was just a type of corn flour or finely pulverized corn used by the Latino population to make tamales and tortillas. ---WRONG. It's special stuff. It's been nixtamalized.!! Who knew.???
