KITCHEN PRACTICE 3 — Reading a Masa Harina Label
==================================================
Chapter: Mexican Cookery 2 — Nixtamalization: The Real Chemistry Behind Masa

TASK
----
Read the ingredient label on a bag of store-bought masa harina, and
confirm it lists nixtamalized (cal-treated) corn as the real process
behind it, connecting the packaged product back to what this chapter
just described.

WHAT TO DO
----------
1. Find a bag of masa harina, either in your own kitchen or at a
   local shop that stocks it.
2. Read the ingredient list and any process description on the
   packaging closely.
3. Look specifically for language describing the corn as
   "nixtamalized," "lime-treated," or "treated with calcium
   hydroxide."
4. Note whatever real detail the label actually gives about the
   process.

WHAT TO EXPECT
--------------
- Most real masa harina products should explicitly reference
  nixtamalization or lime-treatment somewhere on the packaging,
  confirming it as a genuine, industrially-produced version of the
  same real process this chapter describes.
- The ingredient list itself may be very short — often just corn and
  the treatment, with no other additives.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
----------------------------
This exercise connects the chapter's own hands-on chemistry directly
to a real, everyday grocery product, confirming that masa harina
isn't a separate, simplified ingredient but a genuine industrial
version of the exact process just learned.
