Ancient spice with vibrant color and bold flavor.

Annatto (Bixa orellana), also known as achiote or the lipstick tree, is a centuries-old spice, prized for both its preservative qualities and its bright, earthy flavor. Native to Central America and rich in carotenoids, annatto is a key ingredient in Mexican cooking. Perfect for infusing rice dishes like arroz con pollo, adding depth to cochinita pibil, or crafting homemade achiote paste.
