Infuse in hot oil for 5-10 minutes to extract colour and flavour, then discard the seeds and use the oil to cook rice or dress sauces. Toast first for deeper flavour.

Used primarily as a natural red food colouring, annatto seed appears most commonly in South and Central American cookery, such as in achiote paste and adobo. Its soft lemon-peppery taste and mint tones complement seafood, meats, vegetables and rice.

FAQs

A single origin spice comes from one specific growing region, rather than being combined with other spices into a blend. Because it's not mixed with anything else, you get the true, unaltered flavour of that spice.

A blend (like a Ras El Hanout or Souvlaki Rub) combines multiple spices to create a new, layered flavour. A single origin spice is just one ingredient on its own, which can be used in cooking, to create your own blends, or to season a dish with a distinct flavour.

We source each spice from its authentic land of origin, or from wherever in the world the quality is best. That's why you'll find, for example, Tasmanian Pepperberry, French Lavender and Cinnamon from Sri Lanka in our range, each is chosen because that region grows or produces it best.

Many of our ground single origin spices are milled locally in small batches to lock in freshness, rather than being milled overseas months before reaching Australian shelves. Whole spices are packed as they arrive from origin, so you can grind or use them as needed.
