Nixtamalisation
Based on research conducted the following is the best working method we have located. Cook the corn kernels in a 1% calcium hydroxide solution at 80 degrees C for one hour. then remove from heat and steep for 16 - 20 hours in the same solution. This is known as the Lopez method and using other grains will result in further modifications and experimentation on your behalf. After steeping the corn needs to be washed to remove excess calcium and dissolved plant matter. The corn can now be ground into what is known as masa.
