Earthy, slightly peppery — nature's brightest orange-red colorant.
Annatto (Bixa orellana) seeds contain bixin and norbixin — potent natural orange-red carotenoid pigments used as food colorants. We supply whole seeds, ground powder, and oil-soluble and water-soluble annatto extract for food manufacturing. Color value (HPLC bixin content) tested per batch.
A major natural food colorant used in cheddar cheese, butter, margarine, smoked fish, Caribbean and Latin American cuisines, and as a natural alternative to synthetic orange-red dyes in processed foods.
