At Eat Mexico we have carefully designed this experience because we think it is a very relevant topic to share. Generally, the tortillas that are sold in most places lack the quality and nutritional content of ancient, handmade tortillas. We believe it is crucial that people all around the world understand the importance of the Nixtamal process and how to look for high quality elaboration, since this has an important impact on the tortilla´s nutritional value.
