Annatto, also achiote, is a spice made from the seeds of the achiote tree. The orange to red pigment in annatto is very readily absorbed by oils and fats, making it a quite useful, all-natural food coloring, for a variety of foods, especially for foods that might otherwise be pale in color, such as rice, cheese, poultry and fish.
