Interesting. I wonder if I'll ever see it in Singapore. Once you say saffron, I get the idea. Interesting. I wonder if I’ll ever see it in Singapore.

The flavor is pretty subtle, and probably most similar to saffron. Annatto is quite fragrent, kind of like earthy-lemon, although it looses some of that in the cooking. A touch on the bitter side, and even a tiny bit like anisette. I didn't try soaking it in oil, which is supposed to release more of the flavors. I think I'll give that a shot next time.

It's usually used in food colouring, but how does it taste? Does it have a distinctive flavour? Curious to know :-) In fact, I didn’t know what annatto was and did a search.
