Description from the creator

If there was such a thing as makeup in Filipino food, it's the use of achuete or annatto to brighten up a dish.

Here are two ways to extract the coloring and flavor from #achuete or #annatto seeds. One is through heating the seeds with oil and the other one is with the use of lye water. I personally use the lye method since it gives me better control of the color.

This is what gives a bright orange color for dishes like pansit luglog, pansit palabok, sotanghon soup, and sometimes even Pinoy spaghetti.

Here's a link to the cooking guide on my website.
