Best Annatto for home cooking
What Annatto is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
Achiote seeds: color first, a quiet earthy flavor second, the red of recado and arroz con pollo.
In Colombian and Filipino cooking, Annatto is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Taste Annatto before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
