Fierce debate in the taco world — science video
Wednesday, 22 February, 2023
A fierce debate has overtaken the world of corn tortillas — is it okay to make them from pre-made corn flour or should they be made from dried corn kernels to be considered truly “from scratch”?
Corn tortillas may seem like an everyday, regular food item — but these pressed corn patties hold a secret almost as old as civilisation itself.
As part of the Reactions video series produced by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and PBS Digital Studios, the Why Calcium Hydroxide + Corn is Key to Understanding Western Civilization (and Tacos) video tries to settle this debate with a taste test while also uncovering lessons in organic chemistry and corn processing.
