Description

Annatto powder is finely ground Annatto seed that comes from the Orlean tree. The fruit is heart-shaped with thick prickly hairs. Once the fruit is ripe, it can be easily opened by hand to extract the red seeds.

It is a commonly used ingredient in Latin American cuisine, along with Caribbean and Filipino cuisine. It is often used in soups, stews, sauces and marinades where it gives a sweet, peppery flavor. In addition, it gives a naturally intense color that can range from yellow to dark orange when used as a dye, although the seeds are a deep, bright red/orange color. Cochinita Pibil is a well-known dish in which the Annatto is indispensable. This is a traditional Mexican stew meat dish. The pork is slowly cooked in a sauce that includes Annatto, which provides the red color, until the meat completely falls apart. In addition, Annotto is also responsible for the yellow color of butter, margarine and cheese, all of which would be a pale creamy color without the addition of this natural dye.

Annatto seeds are ground into a fine powder. The powder can be added to a dish like this. Click here for Annatto Seed.
