Mexican Mama Blue Masa Harina (Blue Corn Flour) 1kg

More than a year later Ive gone back into my Amazon purchase history just to find this and leave a review. If youre wondering wether to get this or the Maseca brand, dont for the life of me by that version. I bought a 6 pack of it off mexicangrocer.com and its basically like plain cornmeal ground up, like corn flavoured sawdust. Big, big mistake. Dont be fooled by the positive reviews from people who have not tried this and think they have something good. This stuff however, I would literally pour 50-75g of it into a bowl and add only water and eat it like a porridge, and it tasted silky and flavoursome like I added milk. It legitimately tastes like its actually a cereal and its main purpose is for tortillas lol. I would add it into smoothies as well and make my own protein shakes with this being the carbs part. Tell you what, buy both. Buy this and try the Maseca, just to see the astonishing difference. You dont know until you know. This is premium compared to that. Maseca is dust compared to this.

Great product and price

Healthy and taste good. Easy to cooked and a good food for breakfast or used for a long hard workout.

Lovely slightly nutty flavour (my favourite) and makes great tortillas. I will be buying regularly.

Makes very good corn tortillas, flour is of a good quality and has a good shelf life. Price is very reasonable as well.

Makes authentic Mexican corn tortillas, tastes great!

Better price and usually texture than Maseca.

This masa has a pleasant flavour but absorbs less water than the PAN blanca and amarillo masa. It's also extremely sticky and sticks to the polythene tortilla press liner like glue. It is therefore, very difficult to work with and the end result is far less pliable. A good blast of water from a spray bottle whilst cooking helps soften the dark blue tortillas up a bit. However, I get similar flavours and less hassle from PAN amarillo masa, so I'll "stick" with that.
