    Annatto is the main coloring/flavoring in Goya brand of Sazon(con achiote) flavor packets. Very good in rice dishes. 👍

    You have taken me back in time. My mother and grandmother used Annotto to colour the fritters and other 'salt ting'. Never knew of the health benefits, other than the coloring. Indeed knowledge is increasing and so much is being revealed. I really love the information. Just discovered your channel. Continue to showcase our local products. We used to have the plant on our land but over time things die. Is there a way we could get the plants to purchase? Thanks to Mr. Barr and his daughter.

The People of south America transform it into powder or oil and use it to colour their fish and meat stews. Yes very potent so Just a little must be used. All the explications given by the Farmer is accurate. Still used today by the amerindians and the People of African discendance(bush negroes) in french Guyana, Surinam etc.
