What is nixtamalization?Updated a year ago
“Nixtamalization” is an ancient process invented thousands of years ago by the Aztecs to improve the nutrition and digestibility of corn.
It involves boiling the corn with natural minerals from limestone, which makes the corn more digestible, neutralizes mycotoxins and anti-nutrients, and makes nutrients like Vitamin B3 more bioavailable.
The result is a healthier, tastier food that maximizes the nutrient potential of one of the world’s oldest crops.
