Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Latin and Hispanic groceries?
The terms overlap. 'Latin American' covers all of Latin America (including Portuguese-speaking Brazil), while 'Hispanic' specifically refers to Spanish-speaking countries.
Where can I buy masa harina?
Maseca is sold at virtually every Latin American grocery, plus most mainstream supermarkets. For fresh masa, visit a tortilleria inside a Mexican market.
Do Latin markets carry South American ingredients?
Larger markets stock pan-Latin staples. For specialty Argentine, Brazilian, or Peruvian items, look for dedicated South American shops in major metros.
