Annatto

Orange-red condiment and food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree

Annatto ( or) is an orange-red condiment and food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree (Bixa orellana), native to tropical parts of the Americas. It is used to impart a yellow to red-orange color to foods, but may impart a sweet, peppery flavor. The color of annatto comes from various carotenoid pigments, mainly bixin and norbixin, found in the reddish waxy coating of the seeds.
