This is a really good, really cheap gluten free corn flour. You can't use it to make polenta--that's corn meal, not corn flour. However, you can make skillet corn bread with this (put masa harina corn bread into Google, and it will pull up a couple of recipes--they also call for wheat flour, so substitute northern bean or white rice flour and a tsp of guar gum per cup of flour.)

If you're new to cooking gluten-free, watch out for cross-contaminated brands. This one is safe, because corn is the only thing they mill. It also says, "Gluten free" on the package. And, best of all, it's about a dollar a pound. (Brown rice flour costs twice that much.)

This bag came in perfect condition and allowed me to make roughly 90 tamales. It comes with instructions in both English and Spanish. Whenever I make tamales I'll definitely buy from here.
