Hi, We can’t find this spice. I use turmeric powder and saffron to have colour for food. I’m interested in its taste. Thank you.

Just make sure your strain the achote well and if you get severe headaches then it is cause by the achote and you should avoid cooking with it moving forward. Achote has properties in it that causes migraine headaches.
