Love it! I usually get the achiote paste (it comes in a brick and it's what's available around here)...does grinding the annatto at home make a difference?

If you haven't had the red onion escabeche with this...I recommend!

I've only ground up the seeds so I couldn't say. My understanding is that the paste has other spices & flavors added. chefrob uses the paste only so one day we will have to compare notes & see what the difference is.

yup the paste does have other spices but they are not overpowering......need to get some seeds to compare...........

would have never made it to the pot.......stack of warm tortillas would have made sure of that................
