Description: Bixa orellana SEEDS - - Bixa orellana, commonly known as annatto or achiote, is a tropical and subtropical shrub or small tree native to Central and South America, particularly in regions like the Amazon rainforest. It is highly valued for its vibrant and distinctive seeds, which are used as a natural coloring and flavoring agent in a variety of culinary and industrial applications.

Annatto is known for its ability to impart a rich, yellow to orange color to various foods, including rice, cheeses, and a wide range of traditional Latin American and Caribbean dishes. Aside from its culinary use, annatto is also employed in the food industry to color and enhance the appearance of products like butter, margarine, and processed meats. Additionally, it has been used traditionally in herbal medicine for its potential health benefits. Bixa orellana is a relatively low-maintenance plant, well-suited to tropical and subtropical climates, where it can thrive in well-drained soils and full sunlight. The shrub's ornamental qualities, with its striking seed pods, also make it a desirable addition to gardens in regions with suitable climates. In summary, Bixa orellana, or annatto, is a tropical shrub renowned for its vibrant seeds that serve as a natural coloring agent in various culinary and industrial applications.
