Properly stored, masa harina can last up to 1 year in a cool, dry place.

Masa harina is mixed with water and sometimes a bit of salt to make a dough, which is then used for tortillas, tamales, pupusas, and other dishes.

Keep masa harina in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.

Masa harina itself is not cooked, but it is hydrated and then cooked as part of recipes like tortillas or tamales.

Masa harina is used to make corn tortillas, tamales, pupusas, gorditas, sopes, and more.

It’s best to freeze the prepared dough rather than the flour itself. Store dough in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Cracking usually means the dough is too dry. Add water, a little at a time, until the dough is smooth and pliable.
