Annatto seeds have been used as a dye for fabrics and body paint since pre-Columbian times.

It's a tough process to work with annatto, as the dried seeds are very hard and quite difficult to grind, so we've done this for you. Ground seeds can be added to soups and stews or made into a paste to be spread on fish or pork before grilling. We also carry whole annatto seeds.

Annatto Seeds are native to South America and Brazil is the main exporter.
