When my neighbor brought me annatto seeds from her tree in Puerto Rico, it felt like she handed me more than just a spice, she handed me a piece of home. 🇵🇷✨ In Puerto Rican kitchens, achiote isn’t just color for the rice. It’s the golden oil in the pan before the sofrito hits. It’s the base of arroz con gandules, the seasoning of pasteles, the smell that fills the house during the holidays. It stains your fingers, your wooden spoon… and your memories. For a Puerto Rican, annatto carries tradition. It carries abuela’s recipes, loud family dinners, and the longest Christmas in the world. It’s culture. It’s comfort. It’s orgullo boricua. A handful of seeds… but a whole island in my heart. 💛 #puertorriqueña #misancestros #isladepr #casapalo #achiote
