Annatto seeds — also called achiote — are one of the most striking and useful natural food colouring agents in the world, and these Vianco annatto seeds bring their vivid brick-red hue and mild, earthy-peppery flavour to your kitchen in a generous 100g pack. Used across Latin American, Caribbean, Filipino, and Vietnamese cooking, annatto seeds are the traditional source of the warm orange-red colour in countless classic dishes. What Are Annatto Seeds (Achiote)? Annatto seeds are the seeds of Bixa orellana, a flowering shrub native to tropical regions of Central and South America. The seeds are encased in a bright red pulp rich in natural carotenoid pigments — primarily bixin and norbixin — which give annatto its characteristic intense red-orange colour. As documented across culinary and botanical sources, annatto has been used by indigenous peoples of the Americas for centuries both as a food colouring and a traditional dye. Vianco is a Vietnamese food brand, and their annatto seeds are sold primarily for use as a natural colouring agent in Southeast Asian cooking — particularly in Vietnamese cuisine, where annatto-infused oil gives dishes their characteristic red-orange colour. The 100g pack provides an excellent supply for the home cook. Why Choose Vianco Annatto Seeds Annatto seeds offer something no artificial food colouring can: a genuinely natural, plant-derived pigment that doubles as a mild flavouring agent. The earthy-peppery notes that annatto seeds contribute to infused oil are subtle but add a pleasant depth to the dishes cooked in it. Buying whole seeds gives you maximum control — you decide how much colour to extract based on how long you infuse the oil, from a pale golden tint to a deep brick-red.
