USDA FDC SR Legacy record 171329. USDA publishes no record for annatto seed or achiote paste. Cited against paprika, the closest ground dried-pod spice it carries: both are a dried, ground fruit used the same way, in small quantities, though the achiote's colour and earthy flavour come from annatto rather than capsicum. Density estimated from the ground-spice class.
