Annatto powder is derived from the seeds of the achiote trees of tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The seeds are used to produce a carotenoid-based yellow to orange food coloring and add a slightly peppery flavor with a hint of nutmeg. Annatto powder is also known as achiote powder.

The same trait that colors food will also produce a lovely peach colored dye bath for fabric. The seeds or powder can be found online or in Caribbean markets.
