Annatto Seed
Warm, earthy seed for natural color and gentle peppery depth.
India Tree Annatto Seed brings warm earthiness, subtle pepper, and rich natural color to rice, stews, oils, and slow-simmered dishes. Gently bloom whole annatto seeds in warm oil to release deep orange-red pigment, then use the infused oil to cook rice, beans, or sofrito. Grind or crush as needed for achiote pastes, marinades, and braises, keeping the flavor clean and ingredient-first with no fillers.
