Just use organic corn masa...and sunflower oil. I eat mainly organic foods. And I am sure some don't realize it but some small private farmers in AL grow corn from seeds that are passed down each year...and have been doing that for a long time....oh yeah..if you ever grow corn..best to put 3 kernels (seeds) in each hole..I just watch people do things so if I ever have to attempt to grow my own food..I will have a small clue...
