Nixtamalization is what separates masa harina from plain ol' corn flour. It's only an intimidating concept until you learn how people did it hundreds of years ago. Now it's easier than ever, especially if you have a food scale and some culinary-grade cal. What a miracle it is to turn inedible dried field corn into a delicious staple food!
