Annato Seed
 |
Annatto seed is also known as achiote. This seed grows on the annatto tree. It is used primarily in South American, Mexican and Caribbean cooking to impart a rich yellow/orange color. Annatto seed makes a good substitute for saffron's golden coloring, at a fraction of the cost. It does NOT, however, duplicate saffron's unique flavor!
