Easy Achiote Oil (made from Annatto Seeds)
Achiote Oil begins with annatto seeds which come from the achiote tree. The tree bears spiky pod-like fruit that contains these bright red seeds. The annatto seeds can be ground into a powder, made into a paste or used to infuse oil. Because of its gorgeous crimson color, annatto seeds can be used as a food coloring or dye with color ranging from yellow to deep orange.

My kids even got me a First Watch cookbook for Christmas last year because they know I’m a breakfast lover!
