Salsa
Our tortillas do not contain any additives or preservatives so they need to be kept refrigerated.
When you buy from at a local farmer’s market, the tortillas are typically fresh, not frozen, and you can keep them in the fridge for about 7 days from the “packed on” date. If you think it will take you longer than a week to consume them, you should freeze them.
At retailers, you will need to look in the freezers wherever gluten-free or local products are found. Once thawed, please enjoy them within 7 days.
Please see our Where to Find Us (https://www.loscomalesmorales.com/team-3)for a list and map of retailers that carry our products.
You can also give us a follow on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17917709811092256/)to see which local markets we attend, and stay up to date on any special events.
Yes! While corn is naturally gluten-free, we are purposeful about keeping our facility gluten-free as many people who enjoy our products have Celiac or gluten-sensitive requirements.
It’s also important for us to maintain the purity of our tortillas as corn is an integral part of the indigenous Mexican culture and heritage.
Corn is such an integral part of our heritage that its growth and production in Mexico is currently protected by a presidential decree (https://www.gob.mx/sep/acciones-y-programas/decretos-que-establecen-diversas-acciones-en-materia-de-glifosato-y-maiz-geneticamente-modificado#:~:text=El%252520presidente%252520de%252520M%C3%A9xico%252520emiti%C3%B3,ponga%252520en%252520riesgo%252520su%252520biodiversidad.)that no one can grow GMO corn in Mexico. The Mexican government is currently working to make this part of the Constitution. This is meant to protect the biodiversity of the many species of corn that are native to, and were first cultivated in, Mexico. It is also meant to protect Mexico’s food sovereignty.
The Popol Vuh, which is the ancient Bible of the Mayan people, describes how Man was formed from corn. Therefore, we must care for it in order to also care for ourselves.
