BadiaGround Annatto, Achiote Molido, 2.75 Ounces

A great spice for certain dishes.

My sister uses this instead of making oil from the seed, which technically this is just ground form. Good stuff.

Great

great taste with beef ...beef stew

I was asked to make yellow Mexican rice for a charity cooking gig so I looked up a recipe on Pati Jinich's website. That recipe required annato seed and this was the fastest way to get some. Annotto seed, aka achiote, is what gives yellow Mexican rice its color and some of the chile flavor. This spice, plus a good dose of Rancho Gordo mixed chile powder, made the rice turn out very well. Another cook in the kitchen where I was working said she'd add this recipe and this ingredient to her repertoire.

Me gusta mucho esta marca

We use annatto powder a lot in Brazilian cuisine. I really love this annatto powder brand.

I have several annatto trees on my farm, so I'm very familiar with what it should look, smell & taste like. This product looks, smells & tastes like the real deal. So, I'm happy with my purchase.
