PAN Harina de Maiz Amarillo, 1kg

Authentic Venezuelan Maize Flour for Arepas, Empanadas & More

PAN Harina de Maíz Amarillo is a premium pre-cooked yellow corn flour made in Venezuela, where it's a staple ingredient in everyday cooking. This naturally gluten-free flour is made from 100% ground yellow corn and is perfect for preparing traditional Latin American dishes like arepas, empanadas, hallacas, cornbread, tamales, and more.

Unlike regular cornmeal or polenta, PAN flour is precooked, making it incredibly quick and easy to work with. Just mix with water and a pinch of salt to create a soft, pliable dough in minutes – ideal for forming into discs or parcels ready for frying, baking, or grilling.

What’s the difference between PAN Harina and nixtamalised flour?

While both are made from corn, nixtamalised flour (like Mexican masa harina) undergoes an alkaline soaking process using lime (calcium hydroxide), giving it a distinctive flavour and different texture – ideal for making tortillas and tamales. In contrast, PAN Harina de Maíz Amarillo is not nixtamalised, offering a slightly sweeter corn flavour and a firmer, more structured texture – perfect for Venezuelan and Colombian cooking.

Key Information:

• Made in Venezuela from 100% yellow corn
• Gluten-free and vegan
• Quick and easy to prepare
• Perfect for arepas, empanadas, cornbread & more
• Distinct from nixtamalised flour (masa harina)

Combine the harina de maiz, salt and the water in a bowl and stir until it becomes moist, but not sticky dough.

Shape the dough into individual golf ball sized balls. Place the dough between two sheets of clingfilm and using two chopping boards or a tortilla press, press down to flatten the tortilla out.

Heat a non stick pan and cook the tortillas for 2-3 minutes on each side. Keep them warm in a foil pouch to retain the steam until you serve them.
