Terre Exotique Annatto Seeds 70g

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.

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 tins or glass jars – with no plastic. The metal tins preserve the flavours and aroma of your spice, by protecting them from sunlight. So the ingredients stay at their best for longer.
