Achiote Liquid 300 ml from El Yucateco – Mexican seasoning base made from annatto

Achiote is a traditional Mexican seasoning base made from annatto seeds. It is used for both flavour and colour, and is known for giving food a deep red-orange colour and a mild, aromatic spice flavour. El Yucateco Achiote Liquid is made from crushed annatto seeds from the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. The flavour is mildly peppery, earthy and nutty.

Achiote is traditionally used for Tacos Al Pastor, where it gives the meat colour, aroma and a distinctive Mexican flavour. It also works well with pork, chicken, fish, tacos, grilled food and oven dishes. The liquid version is easier to use than classic achiote paste.
