A celebration, a song, an offering of gratitude to my Nana and the women of Mexico, who shared their passed down food knowledge with me — Gifting me, with my own Masa Memories.

 

MASA MEMORY is an homage to food practices that came before us, passed down and learned. Food is very much alive, the memory and story live beyond the kitchen and a shared meal with loved ones.

Masa Memory pulls on nostalgia. It is home-cooking rooted in Family Food Traditions. The smell lingering from our kitchen on Sunday evenings as a child, fresh masa resting in a clay bowl, watching my Nana make salsa and mole, and the beautiful food prepared for me by both family and strangers in Mexico and all around the world. It is an honor for me to cook and share the food of my family and our people.

We are committed to using clean and organic ingredients, filtered water, NON-GMO corn and plastic-free packaging that returns to the earth. To us, these elements are essential and belong to everyone. We will continue to learn and share resources here about food sovereignty, seed stewardship, our give back program and ongoing conversations with food revolutionaries.
