Ingredients Terre Exotique Annatto Seeds 500g

Terre Exotique’s annatto seeds are commonly used as a striking food colouring. Use the bright red seeds to add a deep red hue to rice, noodles or use to make Mexican achiote paste (along with cumin, pepper and garlic) for a vibrant, warming marinade. 

To release the seeds’ colour, simply heat them in a pan with some oil then infuse into your recipe. The seeds have a mild flavour, which makes them very adaptable to different recipes.

This 500g bag is ideal for catering and professional kitchens – the annatto seeds come in opaque packaging, protecting them from light and preserving the fresh flavour, while the flat base makes it easy to store.

About Terre Exotique

Terre Exotique works directly with hundreds of specialist farmers and producers around the world – to bring the very best peppers, spices and salts to our tables. The company was founded by Erwann de Kerros, a Breton and seasoned traveller. After tasting pepper in the Penja plantation in Cameroon, Kerros yearned to try other specialist peppers and spices – and Terre Exotique was born.

The company works closely with farmers to preserve natural habitats, and to ensure a sustainable income for local communities. Each spice is carefully packed in pouches – the opaque packaging preserves the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
