Annatto is an orange-red food coloring or condiment made from the seeds of the achiote tree (Bixa orellana). It’s most commonly used as a natural food coloring, as it imparts a bright color that ranges from yellow to deep orange-red, similar to saffron and turmeric. It has various health benefits and is known for its Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, and Anticancer properties. Traditionally, Annatto has been used for body paint, sunscreen, as well as for treating heartburn, diarrhea, ulcers, and skin conditions. Food coloring and flavoring are some of its most common uses today.
