NZ Corn Fresh Masa 500g
NZ Corn Fresh Masa 500g
Ready to taste the difference of real masa de maíz? We make this dough the traditional way (nixtamalization) using the best Yellow or White non-GMO corn from our Kiwi farmers right here in Aotearoa. This is the simple, honest staple food that has powered Mexico for thousands of years!
What can you make? Everything! Roll it, press it, fill it—from soft tortillas and quesadillas to tamales and sopes.
Quick Tip: 1kg of this masa will press into around 16–20 standard home-pressed tortillas (approx. 800g).
How to Get It:
-
Pick Up (from our market stalls in South Christchurch or Lyttelton): Order by Thursday at noon.
-
Shipping: We ship nationwide on Mondays only. Expect arrival Tuesday or Wednesday. Order by Thursday at noon.
Storing and using masa:
Keep refrigerated as soon as you receive it. To use it, set 1/4 aside. Knead the other 3/4 with a splash of water until soft and malleable so you can't see cracking when pressed (if it does, it needs more water) or becomes sticky ( if it is, then it is too wet so add more masa).
Any questions send us a message.

Yellow Corn
Yellow corn has a slightly stronger flavour than white corn, likely due to the presence of beta-carotene, the compound that gives yellow corn its color and is converted into Vitamin A by the body.
Yellow corn also contains slightly more lutein, an antioxidant.
