Was not me, I am innocent of all wrong doing. Hmmm....

Bags of Masa flour is found in most grocery stores. Are you referring to a
product called Nixtamal instead? Their is a strong Mexican presence in
Michigan and in Downtown Detroit's Mexican Village area. There are some
specialized Mexican stores in many suburban cities. One such store is about
fifteen miles from me. One can get the needed minerals and dent corn in the
Mexican stores to make your own Nixtamal.

I have not looked for any places that sell Nixtamal, so I am not sure about
this. However there are Mexican restaurants in several cities in Michigan.
So they may have a source somewhere. I grow some dent corn for my chickens
but have not yet made my own corn tortillas.
