    Very cool. This highlights why it's important to follow traditional ways of eating and food processing.

    Unfortunately the corn in the State does not have the same health value, with all the pesticides, GMO corn, and pollution in the area it will never be compare to Mexico's harvest corn.

    Is it absolutely necessary to boil the kernels before steeping or can it simply be steeped with the lime at room temperature over night eg.?

      No, unfortunately I do not believe a “raw” version of this is possible. It appears that nixtamalization only works on starches that have gone through a congealing/annealing process.

      However there is something called enzymatic nixtamalization, which typically uses a 60C soak for 30 minutes. You would just need to acquire protease enzymes

      @@Mistral434 :) It wouldn't be raw in this case, but a softer cooking. Although I also know someone who proposes raw foods, but with grains (which corn kernels are as well) he says they need to be properly prepared - either cooked well at around 100° or germinated and both these methods are nearly similarly good for the body. Best wishes to your journey! It too does attract me to be there as much. I also like to try certain ancient traditional foods as well.

    Talking about healthy tortillas but they probably eat the rest of the food that’s processed 😂 Coca Cola included 😂 Don’t forget to get grass fed grass finished meat and cook it with ghee. I swear those tacos are just healthy tortillas with everything else that’s bad.

    I remember being taught in school that corn had no nutritional value which is why the Native American couldn’t survive.
