A tamal wrapper is a type of edible wrapper made from corn husks. The husks are used to wrap and steam tamales, a traditional Mexican dish. The husks provide a natural, edible wrapper that keeps the tamale moist and flavorful. The husks also help to keep the tamale together during the steaming process. Tamal wrappers are an essential part of making tamales, as they provide the necessary protection and flavor to the dish.
