Achiote

Achiote, also known as annatto, is a vibrant red-orange spice made from the seeds of the achiote tree. It has a mild, slightly earthy and peppery flavor, and is widely used to add color and subtle aroma to sauces, stews, marinades, and rice dishes. Achiote is an essential ingredient in many Latin American and Peruvian recipes, prized for its natural coloring and gentle seasoning.
