The expert art of the tortilla may often go overlooked in culinary environments. As Kernel of Truth Organics co-owner Ricardo Ortega states: “before, the tortilla was seen just as a plate—not an ingredient. It’s about time we no longer remain in the shadows.” This is why the tortilla-focused business was established. Kernel of Truth Organics is the brainchild of Ricardo Ortega and Omar Ahmed who have reinvented the tortilla game with their 100% organic nixtamalized corn tortillas that are free from chemicals, and preservatives. The brand only sources organic corn which can be challenging at times but paying the art of the tortilla forward and “improving accessibility to traditionally made tortillas” is worth the effort.
