Annatto is an orange-red [condiment] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condiment) and [food coloring] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_coloring) derived from the seeds of the achiote tree ( [Bixa orellana] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bixa_orellana) ) native to [tropical] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropics) regions from [Mexico] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico) to [Brazil] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil) . It is often used to impart a yellow or orange color to foods, but sometimes also for its flavor and aroma. Annatto’s flavor can be described as earthy, musky, and slightly peppery. Annatto seeds pair well with spices like cumin, garlic and chili peppers. Because annatto is plant-derived, it is an acceptable ingredient for vegetarians and vegans.
