We wanted a lime chip, so we looked for lime seasoning. But we couldn't find anything good enough, so we decided to make it by hand from whole, fresh, organic limes. No maltodextrin, no extracts, no artificial flavors. It's like the chip version of a margarita (tequila not included).
Of course, there are no seed oils, ever.
Organic Corn
- Almost all corn grown in America is sprayed with harmful pesticides, which aren't good for you or the environment.
- Our corn is organically grown by small regional farmers, resulting in a chip that is good for both you and the planet.
Nixtamilization
- To make tortillas the traditional way, you need to turn corn into masa harina using an ancient Central American process called nixtamalization.
- Our tortillas are nixtamalized naturally, the same way the Aztecs did it. This makes the corn easier to digest and the nutrients more bio-available.
Grass Fed Tallow
- There are many oils you could make chips with, but only one option stands above the rest: grass fed beef tallow.
- We use tallow because it's delicious, non-inflammatory and full of fat soluble vitamins. Traditionally used by the best chefs for 100s of years, it is completely natural and unprocessed.
- MASA is the first and only tortilla chip fried in beef tallow, and the proof is in the crunch.
