Nixtamalization is a 4,000-year-old culinary technology that transforms dried corn through an alkaline cooking process. This ancestral technique unlocks nutrition, flavor, aroma, and texture and makes corn fully digestible and nutritionally complete. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn this workshop, you will learn both the cultural history and the scientific principles behind this process. You will be guided through cooking, grinding, hydrating, and shaping your masa into the perfect tortillas and gorditas.
