es cierto, el maiz es cocido con cal en el proceso del nixtamalado con el fin de darle consistencia y a la vez como conservador (mi familia tenía una tortillería y crecí muy cerca de todo el proceso)

Spanish term (edited):
ma�z nixtamalizado
corn/maize treated with lime
(Meaning the mineral lime, not fruit) This is part of the processing that turns corn into the meal or flour appropriate for making tamales, tortillas and other similar foods.
http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/masanixtamal.htm
"Nixtamal (nixtamalado [sic]) - Dried maize which has been lime treated and partially cooked. Available in Mexican grocery stores. This can be used to grind and make tamales or tortillas, or used for hominy or pozole."
http://www.peterschemical.com/calcium_hydroxide_or_hydrated_...
http://allrecipes.com/advice/coll/baking/articles/646P1.asp
"To make masa harina, whole corn kernels are boiled with lime (the mineral, not the fruit!) until the hulls loosen and float to the top. The kernels are then drained, crushed, and dried. The resulting flour needs only to be mixed with water and kneaded into a pliable dough in order to make tortillas."
The process increases the nutritive value of corn; it increases the calcium and increases the availability of certain vitamins and amino acids; see http://www.fao.org/docrep/T0395E/T0395E07.htm.
