Regal Annatto Seed - 16 oz. - 12/Case

Regal annatto seed is a unique spice that makes an excellent addition to any pantry! It features a brick-red coloring and larger, triangular shape. Though the spice itself is red, it imparts a rich, yellowish-orange color in your foods. Commonly used in Caribbean, Latin American and Filipino cuisines, it is both a spice and as a natural coloring in butter, rice, smoked fish, and cheeses.

Annatto seed is often used as a substitute for saffron's golden coloring at a fraction of the cost, but keep in mind that it does not duplicate saffron's unique flavor. Annatto seed has a slightly bitter, peppery flavor with a hint of a minty scent. When ground, Regal Annatto Seed can be added to soups or stews, or made into a paste to be spread on fish or pork before grilling.
