Can I buy dried corn husks here in Australia to make Tamales with??

Question

I want to try making Tamales, and I am just wondering if I can get dried corn husks here in Australia, at say Coles or Woolworths, or whether I have to go to a speciality store like a delicatessan.

Has anyone made these, and if so where did you get the dried corn husks from??

Answer 1

The source article below says you can get them from The Essential Ingredient

It might also be worth trying at a health food store

Answer 2

Dried corn husks?  Do you mean the outer covering on the corn cob?  I have never seen them sold in any grocery store I've been in here in Oz.
