Three Sisters Nixtamal

Three Sisters Nixtamal Tradtionally-made organic corn masa and tortillas made from 100% fresh nixtamal. Made in Portland.

Three Sisters originates from the symbiotic growing of maize, beans and squash practiced by Indigenous cultures throughout the Americas: the bean vine grows around the corn stalk fixing the nitrogen to the soil, while the squash vines provide a shady ground cover locking in moisture and keeping weeds and insects at bay. These three crops, grown and eaten together naturally offer environmental, sus

tainable and nutritional balance. Nixtamal, a word derived from the Aztec Nahuatl language, refers to the corn masa or tamal, that has been cooked with an alkaline. We use pickling lime but wood ash or ground oyster shells have been used in the past. Three Sisters Nixtamal began in Portland when Adriana, a native of Mexico City with roots in the highland capital of San Luis Potosi, inherited her Tia Julieta's tortilla cutter. Surrounded by great home-cooked food growing up, and with Aunt Julietta selling Enchiladas Potosinas and another Aunt bottling her special chili sauces, the idea for starting an artisanal Mexican food businesss in her adopted hometown seemed like a natural and necessary thing to do, bringing her closer to her family, ancestors and traditions.

As we refresh our look, we return to the heart of it all: corn.

Corn is the foundation of the milpa and of the masa we make every day. Through nixtamalization, this ancient grain becomes nourishment, tradition, and the beginning of tortillas, totopos, tamales, and so much more.

We’ll miss the image of the Three Sisters, but their story lives on in every batch of fresh nixtamal.

New look, same tradition.

-

Mientras renovamos nuestra imagen, volvemos al corazón de todo: el maíz.

El maíz es la base de la milpa y de la masa que elaboramos cada día. A través de la nixtamalización, este grano ancestral se transforma en alimento, tradición y el origen de tortillas, totopos, tamales y mucho más.

Extrañaremos la imagen de las Tres Hermanas, pero su historia sigue viva en cada lote de nixtamal fresco.

Nueva imagen, la misma tradición.
