About MasaMasa is spanish for dough, although masa usually refers to 'masa de maize', meaning corn dough. Masa is a dried flour prepared from processed hominy and wood ash. The wood ash contains slaked lime, which makes the nutrients in the corn more bio available.Meso-Americans domesticated corn (also known as maize) in pre-historic times, spreading through much of the Americas between 1700 and 1250 BCE. While most corn stands at 8.2ft, at least one variety of corn grows to 39 feet in length. Buying & PreparationThe FDA, infiltrated by corporations such as Monsanto, gave its rubber stamp approval to genetically modified (GMO) corn. As of 2009 GMO corn comprised up to 85% of corn sown in the United States, despite ongoing controversy over potential health and environmental hazards. Considering the heavy use of pesticides and GMO corn product, Ayurveda recommends you eat organic masa only.Cooking MasaMasa may be used to make tortillas, gorditas, and a variety of other delicious preparations.

His approach to Ayurveda is clinical, yet exudes an ease which many find enjoyable and insightful. John also directs Joyful Belly's School of Ayurveda, offering professional clinical training in Ayurveda for over 15 years.John's interest in Ayurveda and specialization in digestive tract pathology was inspired by a complex digestive disorder acquired from years of international travel, as well as public service work in South Asia. John's commitment to the detailed study of digestive disorders reflects his zeal to get down to the roots of the problem. His hope and belief in the capacity of each & every client to improve their quality of life is nothing short of a personal passion.
