Inflammation
and Disease
Seed oils are full of harmful fats which oxidize in your body and cause inflammation everywhere. This leads to chronic stress and chronic disease, often called "metabolic syndrome" by leading nutritionists.
Inflammation and Disease
Weight
Gain
Seed oils don't fill you up, so you either overeat too many calories, or you stop and still feel hungry. That's how you end up in the vicious restrict-binge cycle that wrecks your metabolism and leads to frustration and weight gain.
Weight Gain
Breakouts, Bloating,
And Sluggishness
Have you ever felt that post-snack slump? When seed oils oxidize they cause bloating and IBS, sluggishness and fatigue, and all your (un)favorite skin issues, as your body works overtime to detox from the mess you ate.
What's In The Bag
AND THAT'S IT!
No other additives hiding in our ingredient label
Organic Corn
Made with organic corn that’s naturally nixtamalized to make it more digestible—just like the Aztecs used to do it.
Grass-Fed Tallow
Cooked in grass-fed tallow—anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense, and the same stuff used in Belgium to cook their world famous french fries.
Salt
Seasoned with pure, mineral-rich sea salt for a final touch of nostalgic flavor. Sourced from a pristine deposit under the Utah bedrock.

Our Story
It all started when I decided to give up seed oils after discovering how harmful they were to my gut, skin, and overall health. And sadly, that meant tortilla chips too.
Frustrated that all the "healthy" chips tasted like cardboard and all the good chips made me feel ill, the only option left was to make some myself using natural ingredients I could buy at a farmers market instead of a chemistry supply company
Not only did they taste better than Tostitos, I still felt great after. And thus MASA—the first-ever tortilla chip made with organic corn and grass fed tallow—was born.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ordering Process
Are the chips nut-free?
MASA Chips are free of nuts, gluten, dairy, and seed oils.
Where is the organic corn sourced from?
Our corn is organically grown without harmful pesticides by small regional farmers, resulting in a chip that is good for both you and the planet.
What are seed oils?
"Seed oils" are oils that are industrially extracted from seeds and used commonly in processed foods.
Common seed oils include canola oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, grapeseed oil, peanut oil, rice bran oil, soybean oil, safflower oil, and sunflower oil.
Why are seed oils bad?
The short answer: we feel and look better when we avoid them. Don't believe us? Just give them up and see for yourself.
As for the long answer, well—seed oils are an inherently processed food. They did not exist more than 150 years ago, before the invention of the industrial equipment and chemicals needed to process them.
What does that mean for your health?
Two things: they don't fill you up, and they cause inflammation everywhere.
Studies have shown that people will eat hundreds more calories per meal before they feel full when the fat comes from seed oils, as opposed to a saturated fat like tallow or butter. This excess calorie intake makes it incredibly hard to lose weight on a diet full of seed oils.
Adding insult to injury, seed oils are also highly inflammatory.
Why? Because they contain a high concentration of poly-unsaturated fats (PUFAs), which are chemically unstable and oxidize very easily.
Oxidation is a chemical reaction that produces free radicals, which are inflammatory molecules that tear apart your cells.
Leading nutritionists have identified chronic inflammation as a main driver of all the terrible diseases no one wants (diabetes, cancer, Alzheimers, PCOS, IBS, and more). While those diseases develop over many years, in the short term seed oils can also cause bloating, bad skin, cellulite, fatigue, estrogen dominance, and blood sugar spikes.
Simply put, they are stressful on every part of your body, and chronic stress kills.
What makes grass-fed tallow so good? I thought it was high in saturated fat?
Aside from tasting good (after all, grass-fed tallow was the frying fat that made traditional Belgian french fries world famous), it's good for the following reasons:
It’s low in PUFAs and high in saturated fat
It's full of nutrients like vitamins A, D, and K2
It's one of the most sustainable cooking fats out there
Tallow is one of the most traditional fats out there and contains both saturated and monounsaturated fats (40%-50% monounsaturated), making it an ideal form of fat for us to consume, since it is low in harmful PUFAs that seed oils are loaded with.
Is grass-fed tallow bad for the environment?
No, in fact its one of the most environmentally friendly cooking fats out there! Grass-fed tallow is made with no pesticides, no petroleum-based fertilizers, no harmful mono-cropping, no industrial processing, and no chemical solvents.
It’s also locally-sourced, not shipped from all over the world. No rain forests in Indonesia are deforested from the collection of grass fed-tallow (like they are with palm oil), and most beef fat isn't used nowadays, so it's a nose-to-tail use of the whole animal, minimizing food waste.
Why don’t you use avocado oil or olive oil?
Early experiments with plant-based oils resulted in a greasy feel—one that nobody wants to put in their mouth. It's also next to impossible to source high quality, authentic olive or avocado oil that hasn’t gone rancid or isn’t laced with seed oils (most of these oils come from supply chains controlled by the mafia or drug cartels, respectively).
Grass-fed tallow, on the other hand, is both nutrient dense and doesn't feel greasy. We can also source it locally from farms that we trust.
What is nixtamilization?
“Nixtamalization” is an ancient process invented thousands of years ago by the Aztecs to improve the nutrition and digestibility of corn.
It involves boiling the corn with natural minerals from limestone, which makes the corn more digestible, neutralizes mycotoxins and anti-nutrients, and makes nutrients like Vitamin B3 more bioavailable.
The result is a healthier, tastier food that maximizes the nutrient potential of one of the world’s oldest crops.
Will it spike my blood sugar?
Although we haven't conducted a formal study (yet), many of our customers who also use CGMs have told us that they don't see a noticeable spike in blood sugar after eating MASA.
The combination of the whole grain corn and saturated fat should not cause a spike like many of the carbs you're familiar with.

I’m a very health conscious individual with an extensive nutritional background. I struggle to find snack foods for my family that don't contain seed oils and refuse to compromise my family's health. My wife and daughters couldn't be more thrilled we found MASA—they finally have a delicious and nutritious snack again that is dad approved. Thank you MASA!

This is the perfect chip, no seed oils, easily digestible corn, and the perfect crunch and amount of salt. The new lime flavor is amazing as well. I got the 8 pack subscription but I always end up moving up the ship date because 8 bags don’t last me a month!
