Zia Nixtamal Tortilla Chips - Lightly Salted 11oz

<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>What is a Nixtamal Tortilla chip?</strong></span><br>We’re glad you asked! Nixtamalization is an ancient process that involves soaking and cooking the corn in ash, mineral lime, or calcium to remove the outer cover from the kernel. This reduced mycotoxins  by 97-100%, increases the bioavailability of amino acids, produces bio-available niacin, and enhances the absorption of key minerals when digested. Nixtamalization also improves the texture, aroma, and most importantly, flavor – Yum!</p><p><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Just a Handful of Ingredients</strong></span><br>Zia’s Nixtamal Tortilla Chips have just three locally sourced ingredients: Non-GMO Southwest Colorado corn, Redmond Real Salt from central Utah, and sunflower oil from Lamar, Colorado. No preservatives, gum, or paste additives here!</p><p><span style="font-size:16px;"><strong>Minimal Carbon Footprint</strong></span><br>All of our corn is grown locally, and the chips are produced in our very own factory, we craft small batches to minimize our energy and water use, and any waste created during production is composted by our local farmers.
