Corn Husks For Tamales 1 LB (16oz) - Natural and Premium Dried Corn Husk Tamale Wrappers | Perfect Hojas Para Tamal for Authentic, Flavorful Tamales | By Amazing Chiles and Spices

These husks are a game changer! I have been living in NC for 5 years making tamales and for 5 years I could not find clean, beautiful, non moldy, husks since leaving Cali. Excited my money is finally spent on high quality husks for delicious tamales to enjoy and to gift! They look and smell so fresh!

Used these for tamales, they smelled a bit like vintages but I rinsed them really well in hot water. The husks were a good size and I would say there was ~50 of them. I made 38 tamales and had enough leaves to cover them during steaming as well.

These came to me wet in the bag with mildew growing on them, and there was even a bug in there. Which was shocking. These are not refundable, and I can’t return them. They smelled funky too. It was a giant waste of money and very disappointed. I just bought the parchment paper kind instead.

Very good quality

These husks arrived damp, so we immediately laid them out on a counter and allowed them to fully dry, before returning them to the bag the came in. If you do not do this, they will definitely spoil and get moldy.

Makes great tamales.

Worked out great for me. I did not find any mold as others have commented on.

This is a product where size matters. My tamale recipe provides enough dough and filling to make about 30 tamales. One package of these corn husks provided more good sized husks than I needed to make a full batch of tamales. When I buy corn husks at my local grocery store, I typically buy two bags because only 1/2 the husks are big enough to make a decent tamale. I think I could have made 45-50 tamales with the corn husks in one these packages. The husks were a little pliable, not dry (almost brittle) like those I find at the supermarket. The only needed a 10-minute soak in hot water and they were ready to wrap some beautiful tamales. Only a few of the husks had small insect holes...which is common among all brands. I would buy these again. But, I won't need to for a while because I order two bags expecting them to be comparable to the smaller husks from a grocery store.
