Bag of 60 XL corn leaves for tamales

These XL corn husks are ideal for wrapping your tamales.   By Tamal (which comes to us from the Nahuatl, tamalli, meaning “surrounded”) we mean a food made from corn dough, stuffed with very different ingredients depending on the region.  It is then wrapped like a foil, in plant leaves, also very diverse, to finally be cooked just before being consumed. The most common Tamales in Mexico are wrapped in a corn or banana leaf in coastal and tropical areas.  There are also varieties which are wrapped in other leaves of very different plants depending on the region: reeds, chilaca (chili pepper), Papatla (tropical plant with broad leaves), banana tree, and of course the covering of the ear. corn.
