The brand starts with organic stone-ground yellow corn, which is combined with other organic ingredients such as organic sunflower and/or organic safflower oil, and a little bit of lime. The shells are then made by cooking the corn in expeller-pressed oil, which gives the shells a light, yet crispy texture.
