Discover the secret behind the beautiful golden-red colour of iconic Filipino dishes. Mama Sita's Annatto Seeds, known as Atsuwete or Achuete, are a natural treasure used for generations to add vibrant colour and a hint of earthy fragrance to food.
These small seeds don't just add visual appeal; they create the foundational oil for dishes like the rich and nutty Kare-Kare, giving it its authentic appearance. Steep the seeds in hot oil to create annatto oil (atsuete oil), which can then be used to sauté aromatics, colour rice dishes, or enhance marinades for meats and poultry. A 50g bag is a long-lasting pantry staple that connects your cooking to the true colours of the Philippines.
- Authentic Filipino Colour: Achieve the signature golden-red hue of classic dishes like Kare-Kare without artificial dyes.
- Natural & Versatile: Primarily used for colour, it adds a very subtle earthy flavour that enhances without dominating.
- Easy to Use: Simply heat the seeds in oil until the oil takes on a deep orange-red colour, then strain and use the infused oil.
- Trusted Brand: Mama Sita's provides the authentic, high-quality ingredients essential for traditional Filipino cooking.
