Absolutely delicious and completely clean tortilla chips!
Zia Tortilla currently sources local, non-GMO corn, Colorado Sunflower Oil, and Redmond Sea Salt. Most corn tortillas (and chips) in the US are made using corn flour (maseca). These chips and tortillas are produced using the ancient, traditional process of nixtamalization, starting with fresh, local, whole corn.
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!
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!
And, if that is not enough, their carbon foot print is small too! All of their corn is grown locally, and the chips are produced in their very own factory, they craft small batches to minimize our energy and water use, and any waste created during production is composted by our local farmers. This bag is made from natural kraft paper and lined with a compostable film made from annually renewable plants.
