1649.0. "STORE: Source for Annatto Seeds?" by LESCOM::DUNLAP (Jim Dunlap, Low End Networking Systems, DTN 223-5190) Thu Feb 23 1989 17:13

Help!!!  I need annatto seeds.  Does anyone know where, in the
Maynard/ Boston area I can find these things.  I've looked nearly everywhere.


Thanks,

Jim

    A couple of places you might try:  Savoury Lane, on Rt2A in Acton,
    in the same plaza as the movie theatres.  This is a deli, but they
    have a large selection of oddball spices and things, including all
    the K-Paul's Cajun mixes.
    
    Other place: also on 2A, a bit west, called Joyce Chen's Oriental
    Kitchen.  A food store chock full of exotic stuff, some of which
    is labeled in Mandarin and I have no idea what it is. Lots of spices.
    
    Both places are worth visiting even if they don't have Annato seeds
    (and I'll bet they do!)

    Anatto is a South American spice.  It can be found in the GOYA section
    of most grocery stores inside rt. 128.  I have personally seen it
    in Waltham Supermarket.  They have the most extensive spanish food
    section I've seen so far.   
    
    I beleive it also comes in a crystalized version referred to as
    achiote.  I can't seem to find this in the acton area stores, but
    I used it a lot when I lived east.  It's a wonderful spice.

Goya brand can be found almost anywhere, usually in the ethnic food section.
However, Goya's annatto goes by the Spanish name, anchiote.
