Annatto Powder, also known as Achiote, is a culinary gem cherished for its vibrant colour and rich flavour profile. Ground from the seeds of the annatto tree, this versatile spice adds a delightful hue and a subtle earthy taste to a wide range of dishes.
Achiote is the main ingredient to prepare traditional Mexican dishes such as achiote chicken, cochinita pibil - the spicy pork dish, so popular in Mexico - or to marinate meat for the world-famous Tacos Al Pastor. Some people use a hint of achiote to colour (yellow) other dishes such as tamales or sauces.
Whether you're marinating meats, seasoning rice, or adding depth to soups and stews, Annatto Powder is the perfect way to infuse your culinary creations with a touch of authenticity.
