We offer multiple size options to suit your recipe needs:
100g, 200g, 500g, and a 100g Clearance pack (with more natural markings than usual).
Each 100g pack includes around 20 or more dried corn husks, with an average length of about 25 cm. Larger pack sizes contain proportionally more husks.
As a natural, traditional product, husks will vary in size, colour, and texture.
🌽 Natural Marks Are Normal — Not Mould
Dried corn husks often show dark spots or streaks.
While these can look similar to mould, they are not active mould and not a sign of spoilage.
These markings form during the sun-drying and curing process, when the husk’s fibres and sugars oxidise naturally. This is traditional throughout Mexico and does not affect quality or safety.
🌾 About the Smell — Normal and Harmless
When we receive fresh shipments, some husks may have a mild chemical-like smell.
This scent is normal and comes from the treatment process used in Mexico, where husks are washed and prepared to ensure they are clean, dry, and safe for culinary use.
This smell naturally fades once the husks are rinsed, soaked, and steamed as part of the normal preparation.
It does not affect the flavour of your tamales or indicate any issue with the product.
