cal (slaked lime 1lb)

Cal (slaked lime). The Aztecs discovered that by soaking their dried corn in wood ash, the corn became easier to grind and also more digestible, thus, more nutritious. The same process is used today to "slake corn". This processed corn is called Nixtamal. It is later ground into fine or coarse meal for tortillas or tamales or used whole for making Posole. Our "cal" comes in a 1 lb or 5 lb cello bag.
