Spicy Organic Annatto Seeds: USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Guatemala

About this product

What to check first: the label and the origin. These seeds are USDA Organic and Non-GMO, and the brand states they are sourced from certified organic farms in Guatemala. They are the whole, dried seeds of Bixa orellana, the Central American tree sometimes called the lipstick tree. The listing gives no GTIN, so the SKUs are your reference when comparing sizes: SO-ANNT-4OZ, SO-ANNT-8OZ and SO-ANNT-16OZ.

What kind of product it is: whole seeds, not a ground powder. The brand describes them as the traditional starting point for authentic achiote cooking. You infuse them in hot oil or liquid and strain them out before cooking, so they act as an infusion base rather than something you stir in. The brand doesn't publish tasting notes, so we haven't invented any. Each size arrives in a resealable stand-up kraft pouch, with prices starting at $10.48.

How to use and store

• Store sealed, away from heat and light; use within 6–12 months of opening for peak aroma.
• Start with ¼–½ teaspoon per serving and adjust to taste.
