About Achiote

Also known as Roucou, achiote is derived from the aptly named achiote tree, originally from the tropical regions of the American Continent. It is believed that the name comes from a Peruvian tribe, the achiotes or achotes, who used the brilliant colored pigment of the achiote seeds as body paint. Achiote is produced from the red pulp that surrounds the trees seeds. These seeds contain a natural coloring, used in the textile and cosmetic industry, as well as a food coloring for cheeses (Cheddar, Leicester, Brie), margarine, butter, rice, smoked fish and some desserts.

Achiote is found often in Latin American and Caribbean food, especially in Guatemala and Mexico, as both a coloring and flavoring agent, as it gives dishes an attractive and exotic appearance, as well as a slightly sweet and spicy flavor.

Sobre el Achiote

Tambien conocido como Roucou, es un derivado del arbol de achiote, originario de las regiones tropicales de America. Se cree que su nombre proviene de una tribu Peruana, los achiotes o achotes, quienes usaban el brillante colorante como pintura corporal. El achiote se produce de la pulpa roja que rodea las semillas del arbol. Dichas semillas contienen bixina, un colorante natural utilizado en la industria textil y cosmetica; asi como colorante alimenticio para quesos (Cheddar, Leicester, Brie), margarina, mantequilla, arroz, pescados ahumados y polvo para preparar flan.

Tambien se encuentra comunmente en la cocina Latinoamericana y Caribeņa, especialmente en Guatemala y Mexico, tanto como agente colorante y saborizante, ya que proporciona a los alimentos una apariencia llamativa y exotica, asi como un sabor ligeramente dulce y picoso.
