White Corn Flour
Naturelo Masa Harina 1kg is a finely ground corn flour traditionally used in Mexican cooking to make soft, pliable doughs. Made from corn that has been treated to improve flavour and performance, it has a gentle corn taste and a smooth, workable texture that mixes easily with water. Once hydrated, it forms a dough that is easy to shape, roll and cook, making it ideal for everyday home cooking as well as more ambitious kitchen projects. This masa harina is commonly used for tortillas, tacos and tamales, but it also works well in thickening sauces, coating foods before cooking, or adding body to savoury bakes. If you are looking for authentic masa harina for Mexican food at home, this is a reliable cupboard staple that delivers consistent results.

Why is masa harina different from ordinary corn flour?
Masa harina is made from corn that has been specially treated before milling, which changes the way it behaves when mixed with water and allows it to form a flexible dough rather than a crumbly mixture.
Can I use masa harina for baking as well as savoury dishes?
Yes, it can be used in baking to add structure and flavour to items such as cornbread style loaves, flatbreads or savoury muffins when combined with other flours.
Is masa harina suitable for making food in advance?
Dough made from masa harina can be prepared ahead of time and kept ready to cook, making it useful for entertaining or batch cooking meals that need to be finished quickly.
