Annatto Seed
Vibrant, earthy, and slightly peppery, Annatto Seed is the secret behind the rich golden hues of Latin American, Caribbean, and Filipino cuisine. With subtle notes of nutmeg and pepper, these small but powerful seeds are used to infuse oils, marinades, and spice blends with both color and flavor.
Traditionally used in achiote paste, rice dishes, and slow-roasted meats, annatto adds a distinctive depth without overwhelming heat. Toast it, steep it, or grind it fresh—this spice brings both bold color and subtle complexity to every dish.
Want it finely ground? We will grind it fresh for you. Select the "grind it" option.
