Awaiting the nixtamal adventure
Picking through the kernels for bad pieces
Getting ready for a bath
Washing the maíz blanco
In the pot...ready to boil
Powdered lime (cal)
Lime dissolved in water
The maíz is boiling
Adding the lime mixture to the boiling maíz
So cool! The reaction of the lime with the corn turns it bright yellow!
After the maíz boils, the skins should easily rub off.
Wow.. this is amazing.. I´m sure you did an excellent job.. Congrats for your first delicious tortillas.
