Fresh Masa para Tamales is ready-to-use corn dough prepared specifically for homemade tamales. Made locally for MexGrocer, this fresh masa comes already seasoned and prepared, so there is no need to add lard, salt, baking powder, or other basic ingredients before you begin.
Simply add your favorite filling, spread the masa onto prepared corn husks, fold, and steam. One 4 lb package makes approximately 24–30 medium tamales, depending on how much masa you use for each one.
