Does anyone know of a brand of organic masa harina? I bought Bob's Red Mill thinking it was organic but it isn't. I want to try my hand at home made tortillas.

I press my own corn tortillas probably twice a week but I use Maseca, which seems to the be one of the brand names at the Mexican grocery store I stop at,. It is a gluten free, kosher product, but nowhere do I see listed "organic" on the packaging. In my research, although Maseca says it's '100% natural' supposedly the company uses genetically engineered corn. Still there is 1 gram of total fat and 110 calories from one tortilla. That is much better than anything I can purchase in a grocery store.

I think most corn nowadays that isn't labeled organic is GMO, unfortunately.
