Yucatán Seed Achiote 100 g

Yucatan achiote grain, also known as "annatto," is a staple ingredient in Yucateco-Mexican cuisine. The red seeds of the achiote are dried, ground and processed into a reddish paste that is used to marinate meat, fish and vegetables. Achiote paste has a slightly sweet and earthy taste, with a slight bitterness. It is often mixed with other spices and ingredients such as vinegar, orange juice, garlic, and cumin to create flavorful marinades and sauces. Achiote also gives an intense reddish-orange color to the dishes in which it is used.
