Bring authentic colour and flavour to your cooking with our premium Annatto Seeds (Achiote). Harvested from the seeds of the achiote tree, these vibrant red-orange seeds are a staple ingredient in Mexican, Latin American, and Caribbean cuisine. They are prized for their ability to impart a rich golden-red colour and a subtle earthy, peppery flavour with delicate nutty notes.
Annatto seeds are traditionally infused in oil to create achiote oil or blended into achiote paste, making them perfect for marinating meats, seasoning rice, soups, stews, tamales, and a wide variety of authentic dishes.
Whether you're preparing classic cochinita pibil, pollo pibil, arroz rojo, or homemade spice blends, annatto seeds are an essential ingredient for achieving authentic flavour and colour.
