Have you are wondered what to do with all of that beautiful heirloom field corn you grew? In this video I show you how to take it from the kernel, all the way to tortillas, with wood ash nixtamalization. This is some OG technique. Like prehistoric. Try this recipe, and you'll redefine what a corn tortilla should taste like.

My article about this process, and a great tamale recipe can be found here:
