Q: it says that it precooked with lime water, it is really precooked or just have trace of lime??

This is not just corn with a "pinch of lime" added. All Masa harina is made from corn that has been nixtamalized--soaked and cooked according to ancient, traditional Mesoamerican practice using slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), in order to make the corn more nutritious and digestible. This process also allows the corn flour/masa harina to form a dough when mixed with water, which is not possible with cornmeal (plain ground corn). Coincidentally it also imparts a delectably distinct flavor. For more info please refer to the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixtamalization

Q: Can I make arepas with this flour? I usually use P.A.N pre-cooked corn meal, but it's not organic. I'm looking for a Non GMO alternative.

I make Colombian areas with this flour and my Colombian husband says they are better than in Cartagena. This is yellow corn, like for arepa con huevo. I make plain arepas. I use only this flour with salt and cold water and fry them on an iron skillet with coconut oil or grape seed oil for about 5 minutes. Butter the arepa and put an over easy egg on top of the arepa. It's to die for!

Q: What is a good way to store this so I can make sure it doesn't go bad or get infested with food moths?

I just use the entire bag right when I get it. It makes a little over 2,000 tortillas. I then throw a giant tortilla party and invite as many people over as possible to my apartment. We then binge together on tortillas while listening to Ray Charles and talk about simpler times. Hope that helps!

Q: is this product non-GMO?

Hi William! Yes, all our Masa varieties are Certified Organic. For an item to pass the Organic Certification it must be non-gmo. So any Certified Organic product on our site is non-gmo as well.
