Mama Sita's Achuete (Annatto) Powder is a convenient Filipino cooking ingredient used to give dishes a beautiful yellow-orange to reddish-orange colour together with a mild, slightly sweet and nutty flavour.
Made from annatto seed extract, known in the Philippines as achuete or atsuete, this versatile powder is traditionally used in Filipino dishes such as Kare-Kare, Pancit Palabok, Paella Filipina, Mechado and other stews, sauces and rice dishes.
Unlike whole annatto seeds, the powdered format is quick and convenient to use, making it easy to add authentic colour and subtle flavour to your favourite Filipino recipes.
Ingredients
Annatto seed extract 73%, corn starch.
