Tamales Are Good StuffLeafy Tamale creates modern, bold and dangerously good tamales.
The use of the banana leaf is a nod to the rich culture of Costa Rica, where Leafy Tamale's traditions and masa recipe came to life. Leafy Tamales are gourmet flavors wrapped in tradition. Crafted from an over 100-year family recipe, Leafy Tamale's masa undergoes hours of mixing, blending and heating. This process thickens and smoothes the masa to perfection. The leaf reflects the nutrition behind the ingredients. Supported by vegetarian and naturally gluten-free masa, unique ingredients such as olives, pearl onions, jalapeños and even a prune add to the tamale richness. Each tamale is wrapped and cooked in a banana leaf. Banana leaves hold in masa moisture and marinate the ingredients' wholesome flavors. When a Leafy Tamale unwraps, the smell of tradition unfolds. Every bite brings a bold and flavorful experience unlike any tamale found in most restaurants or shopping centers. |
