Gold Mine White Corn Masa Harina

I have been using a different brand and I have found the one I will never change from. When I opened this bag it smelled different. It smells fresh and like a corn tortilla. It is stronger in smell than my previous more processed version. I loove the flavor and texture. Making my own tortillas is my favorite. This is easy and the dough holds together. I can even make them in advance and they dont crumble when heated if you know what I mean. I will always be buying this brand from now on. I didnt think brand mattered and it does. Reading other reviews makes me excited to try other recipes. Tortillas are a staple but I can see how this texture would add a lot to many dishes.

This American ancestral food is both tasty and nourishing. I tend to be lazy and just make a quick porridge of the stuff, but I have also had great success in making tortillas. Despite what some people say, this is nearly essential for most Americans, it is the sustaining crop of our land. Research corn and you'll see modern health weirdos saying its acidic and creates fungal problems. For valid reasons...The problem often with acidity is overconsumption of animal products and caffeine. The fungal stuff...Well, that is a general concern with the storage techniques of mass produced corn products....This I isn't really a huge conpany...And I suppose I avoid it if you find it as a temporary hindrance with your health. Minerals, raw greens, veggies, fruits, algaes, and probiotics all are very alkalizing and a great contrast to grains. So- experience this product and understand your ancestral connection to the US land. Stay in touch folks! I alternate between this and the blue masa which is higher in antioxidants and proteins.

Still learning how to make a decent sized taco shell. But the flavor is top notch

Updated Review 3/30/2017: Masa is still not as fine as I'd like but the packaging has improved immensely with a zip close bag. My masa also came double wrapped in another bag which I like just in case the bag did break open. At the end of the day, this is great masa with a really good flavor and blows bobs red mill and just about any other largely produced masa out of the water. I'll stick with 4 stars and if they can make the grind even finer then 5 stars! Original review: I have ordered this item at least 5 times now. It is usually 5 stars, but the fineness of the masa is now varying in consistency. It is usually very fine, which is great for tortilla, but several times now I have received this product and it is like they didn't even bother to grind it properly through the molino/corn grinder. It is literally almost like cornmeal(not good at all for tortilla or anything for that matter except maybe cornbread). On top of that, my most recent order had two bags, both were ripped open, they even had an exterior bag and those bags had holes in them. I really like this product when it is the right stuff, fine powdering consistency,not ripped open, and I will totally update this review but this producer needs to get their act straight, real masa is fine and easy to work with, this is just cornmeal consistency, which trust me, you do not want.gm

I made corn tortillas with this product and they were delicious. Using the recipe from [...], it was the easiet recipe ever. Just the Goldmine Organic Masa Harina and warm water. No salt. I don't have a tortilla press yet because I wanted to see if I could do it (and there is a certain brand I want). Using the bottom of a large glass measuring cup and a plastic baggie cut in half they came out perfectly round and thin enough. Then I made so tortilla chips with leftover dough and those were perfect also. The green tomatillo salsa came from the same site as above and it was tasty also. Even when I order out the tortillas are not this tasty plain and salt-less. I am really concerned that present-day corn is mostly genetically modified and have to be sure I get organic corn products. This masa has only organic corn and no other ingredients.

Awesome masa! I am stationed out in Naples, Italy and get it shipped using Prime every month! It is hard to find tortillas out here and the ones they sell in a few local stores are FULL of preservatives. This is a better alternative by far. Plus, it makes you master the technique of making homemade tortillas. I have gotten quite good if I don't say so myself. My daughter can ask for quesadillas and I will whip them up in less than 15 minutes. Just add water and salt (lime juice if desired). Very tasty and WELL worth the purchase!

I trust this product for making my tamales....I make my Tamales with olive oil instead of lard so all organic mass is a definet plus!

Please take this review with a grain of salt. I've been searching for an organic masa harina to make Colombian arepas for years. Unfortunately, this is not the right product for this. I do see where this can be used to make Colombian tamales but it is too smooth to make arepas. Our arepas are smooth and textured at the same time. Also, this is labeled as white corn but was still very yellow as the finished product. If anyone has any suggestions on which brand to buy, then please comment and let me know! :-)
