Dried corn husks for wrapping tamales — soaked until pliable, then used as the traditional wrapper that holds masa and filling together through steaming.

Pantry Role: staple base for tamale-making sessions.

Common In: family tamaladas, Noche Buena prep, holiday batch cooking, and year-round home kitchens across Cuban, Mexican, and Central American households.
