Is Masa mix the same as corn meal?

Answer 1

Masa; masa harina: The Spanish word for "dough," masa is the traditional dough used to make corn tortillas. It's made with sun- or fire-dried corn kernels that have been cooked in limewater (water mixed with calcium oxide). After having been cooked, then soaked in the limewater overnight, the wet corn is ground into masa. Masa harina (literally "dough flour") is flour made from dried masa.
Corn meal: Dried corn kernels that have been ground in one of three textures--fine, medium or coarse. There are two methods of grinding. The old-fashioned water-ground (also called stone-ground) method--so named because water power is used to turn the mill wheels--retains some of the hull and germ of the corn. Because of the fat in the germ, water-ground cornmeal is more nutritious, but won't keep as long and should be stored (up to 4 months) in the refrigerator. Water-ground cornmeal is available at health-food stores and some supermarkets. The newer style of milling is done by huge steel rollers that remove the husk and germ almost completely. The product can be stored almost indefinitely in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Water-ground or stone-ground cornmeal is usually so labeled; steel-ground cornmeal rarely carries any designation on the package. Cornmeal is either yellow, white or blue, depending on the type of corn used. Yellow cornmeal has slightly more vitamin A than white. Blue cornmeal is usually available only in specialty markets or the gourmet section of some supermarkets. However, there are an increasing number of blue-corn products available such as blue-cornmeal flakes and chips. See also corn flour.
Polenta: A staple of northern Italy, polenta is a mush made from cornmeal. It can be eaten hot with a little butter or cooled until firm, cut into squares and fried. For added flavor, polenta is sometimes mixed with cheese such as parmesan or gorgonzola. It can be served as a first course or side dish and makes hearty breakfast fare.

Answer 4

Cornmeal
Corn that has been dried and ground to a coarse flour. If the hulls (skins) and germs (brown tips) are removed the meal will have a long shelf life. If the hulls and germs remain in the meal, it is more nutritious but won’t last as long. It is used as a hot “cereal” or “grits” by adding boiling water to make a mush. It is also used to make cornbread.

Masa Harina
Masa harina or “dough flour” is a flour made from dough. It is made by making nixtamal and removing the hulls from the corn. The kernels are ground into a dough and then the dough is dried. The dried dough is ground again into a very fine flour. To use masa harina, water or chicken broth, and sometimes lard and seasonings are added to form a dough. Masa Harina can be used for tamales or tortillas or to thicken sauces.

Corn meal is kind of grainy, corn flour is very fine. Masa has lard mixed in and is kind of lumpy until whisked. If it sticks together when pressed without water, it's masa.

Answer 6

Absolutely not.
Masa harina is different from ordinary cornmeal. Masa is made from nixtamalized hominy rather than plain maize corn. This makes masa tastier, easier to digest, and according to authorities, a more bio-available, nutritious food
