For customers who choose to prepare their own signature tamale recipes, HGG banners Cardenas Markets, El Rancho Supermercado and Tony’s Fresh Market are carrying a variety of premium Nixtamal masa preparada (dough made from hominy) that’s freshly made and ready to use. The banners are also offering wide ranges of fresh chiles, meats and cheeses, as well as corn husks and banana leaves to create this traditional Hispanic staple.
