After macerating in water, the pulp surrounding the seeds is made into cakes for further processing into dyes. The seeds are dried and used whole or ground as a culinary spice. Commercially, achiote is used to add yellow color to chorizo, butter and margarine, cheese, and smoked fish. Achiote is native to the tropical areas of the Americas, including the Caribbean and Mexico. The Spanish brought the small tree from the Americas to Southeast Asia in the 1600s, where it is now a common food ingredient. It’s also produced in India and West Africa. WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. ## Features - When used in small amounts, primarily as a food colorant, achiote has no discernable flavor. When used in larger amounts to add flavor, it imparts an earthy, peppery flavor with a hint of bitterness. Achiote seeds give off a slightly floral or peppermint scent. - Achiote seeds are steeped in cooking oil to make achiote oil or lard for achiotina, infusing them with color and flavor. Sautéing in or cooking with the oil or lard adds color to rice, paella, meat, soup, stew, fish, and some yuca dishes. - With proper storage, achiote can be good for up to three years. Store it in an airtight glass container and a dark cabinet away from the light. Achiote oil or achiotina will keep a few months when stored in a glass jar in the refrigerator. ## Product Details - **Brand:** Generic - **Item Form:** Paste - **Unit Count:** 16.0 Ounce - **Specialty:** Whole - **Number of Items:** 1 ## Images ![El Criollo Achiote Paste, Annatto Paste 1 Kg (2.2 LB) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81uvsZpv1hL.jpg) ![El Criollo Achiote Paste, Annatto Paste 1 Kg (2.2 LB) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YuAsYYSzL.jpg) ![El Criollo Achiote Paste, Annatto Paste 1 Kg (2.2 LB) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61hdwUwsSwL.jpg) ![El Criollo Achiote Paste, Annatto Paste 1 Kg (2.2 LB) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91hABleSanL.jpg) ![El Criollo Achiote Paste, Annatto Paste 1 Kg (2.2 LB) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-SGBIxkvL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/515573764-el-criollo-achiote-paste-annatto-paste-1-kg-2-2](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/515573764-el-criollo-achiote-paste-annatto-paste-1-kg-2-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
