Achiote, also known as "Annatto" or "Bixa orellana", is a tropical plant native to South America. Its seed is most commonly used, which is used as a natural food coloring due to its red-orange color. In addition, it has significant medicinal properties that have been used by indigenous communities for thousands of years.
Achiote is a tree that grows up to 10 meters tall. Its home is the Amazon rainforest and other tropical areas of Latin America.
Dosage: 1 - 2 tablespoons (about 5 grams) per 1 liter of water. Let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes and drink warm throughout the day.
