What is Bixa orellana?
Bixa orellana, commonly known as Annatto or Achiote, is a small evergreen shrub native to tropical regions of the Americas and cultivated in several tropical countries.

Mature Annatto fruits are harvested when the seed pods have developed adequately. The pods are opened and the seeds are separated, cleaned, and dried under suitable conditions. Depending on the intended application, the seeds may be processed into whole seeds, seed powder, oil-soluble extracts, water-soluble extracts, or standardized annatto color preparations according to buyer requirements.
