Achiote whole – Natural Color and Traditional Healing

Achiote, also known as annatto, is widely used as a natural coloring agent in cooking, imparting rich reddish, orange, and yellow hues to foods like cheeses, oils, and traditional dishes—most notably, cochinita pibil. Beyond its culinary appeal, achiote is also valued in traditional medicine for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, and diuretic properties. It has been used to help relieve pain, improve digestive and eye health, and support bone strength. Pack size: 4 oz.
