Indigenous to South America, the annatto in this blend pays homage to the rich Latino culinary influences that exist all throughout Southern California. Latin American cuisine often uses annatto as a replacement for saffron in Spanish-inspired dishes.
In addition to being colorful, this handcrafted blend is the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. Use as a rub for various meats including pork, chicken, and steak. Also try on scallops, fish, and vegetables.
