About Pork achiote

Pork Achiote is a flavorful dish rooted in Mexican and Latin American cuisine, showcasing the vibrant flavors of the region. The dish features pork marinated in achiote paste, an earthy blend of annatto seeds, garlic, citrus juice, and spices, which imparts a rich red color and tangy, smoky taste. Traditionally, it may be slow-cooked or roasted, and often paired with rice, tortillas, or fresh salsas. Pork provides protein and essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. However, the preparation can vary in its healthfulness depending on cooking methods and added fats. For a lighter version, opt for lean cuts of pork and pair with wholesome sides like fresh vegetables or salads. The citrus marinade also contributes antioxidants and vitamin C, adding a nutritious punch to the dish.
