Achitote paste is made from the annatto seed and I use it to flavor and color food. I use it in dishes like taco birria, al pastor, etc. The flavor is very, very mild however the color it adds is magnifico! **Q: Is this supposed to be dry powder? Mine was like play dough.** A: It is described as a "paste", not a powder. Use a knife to break up the paste in smaller pieces. I discovered that it works best when you use a marinade that has a high "acidity" content like Italian dressing or orange juice. Liquids with high acidity content will help break down the pieces of paste. Don't be afraid to get your hands messy as you massage the chicken, ribs, shoulders, etc. with the marinade before cooking on the grill or smoker. **Q: Do you refrigerate?** A: We do not refrigerate it. **Q: Gluten free?** A: Google says yes. But you might want a second opinion. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality and price *by J***S on March 21, 2026* Flavor enhancer ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Authentic Mexican Red Achiote *by T***K on April 21, 2026* Wife made some al pastor pork with it. Amazing taste and flavor. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Potent Paste yet works well *by L***L on April 23, 2026* This achiote paste I have used for many mexican recipes and it has worked well. Be careful to not get it on your clothes. The block has lasted a while and you don't need that much if youre only cooking for a few but I tend to use 75% or 50% every time I use the block. The flavor holds up when I rebuy, color is the same, flavor is the same. Would recommend to others and would buy again. ## Frequently Bought Together - El Yucateco Achiote Paste 3.5 OZ (Pack of 3) - Guajillo Chiles Peppers Dried Whole 4 oz – Natural and Premium.
