Achiote, aka Recado Rojo, is your kitchen's best-kept flavor secret, straight from Central America. Its fiery red color? That’s the magic of ground annatto seeds, blended with fragrant spices and Mexican chiles for a taste that’s as bold as it looks. Rub it, marinade it (just add oil), or toss it on anything that needs a little flavor love.

From chicken to pork, roasted veggies to rice, soups, and stews—Achiote isn’t just a spice, it’s a whole vibe. We love using our Achiote blend on everything from burgers to clams, on a fish sandwich on roasted carrots or on carne asada.
