Tortillas and Nachos
from tortillerÍa nixtamal

Dutch Kills CSA is happy to continue its partnership with Tortillería Nixtamal, a local small business that makes both white and blue corn tortillas, flour tortillas, and nacho chips. All the tortillas and nachos are made with non-GMO corn.

Nixtamal is an Aztec word to describe corn that has been partially cooked and soaked with calcium hydroxide, otherwise referred to as lime. Calcium hydroxide is the dust that results from scraping a limestone rock. The Aztec would grind corn against the limestone found in the riverbeds, and that’s how they discovered the nutritional benefits of nixtamalized corn. Visit the Tortillería Nixtamal website for more info.

If you order a tortilla or nacho share, you will get one delivery every month during our CSA season (June to November), for a total of 6 deliveries. We offer 3 kinds of tortillas: white corn, blue corn, and flour. Corn tortillas come in 1 lb. packages; flour tortillas come in packages of 12. Both the white and blue corn tortillas are 6 inches across. The flour tortillas come in two sizes: 5 inches and 11 inches. Nachos are made with white corn and come in a 3/4 lb. bag.

Delivery dates: June 17, July 15, August 12, September 23, October 21, November 18.
