Also known as atsuete powder, annatto seeds grow inside the spiny fruits of the atsuete tree. Annatto powders primary use in the Philippines specially to give color in our favorite kare-kare and mixed with oil for our chicken inasal and other grilled meat.
However, many people are beginning to utilize powder as a spice in and of itself. The flavor is bittersweet with notes of mace and mint. The seeds are often added to oils to flavor and color them, or soaked in hot water to make a flame-colored broth. Combine annatto powder with chili flakes, black pepper, cumin, coriander and salt for an all-purpose seasoning for everything from pickled mushrooms to homemade sausages.
Guaranteed freshness and cleanliness.
