It gives an authentic, slightly sweet and peppery, Mexican flavour and appearance to chicken if used on its own too. **Q: I'm struggling to translate the mexican instructions of use to English what is the the recommended way to use this paste as a marinade for chicken?** A: Hi, very much similar to using oxo cubes or similar, the paste block will dissolve in hot water. You can either smear straight onto meats or dissolve in water - how much depends on how thick or lose you would like seasoning to be. Hope this helps, any queries just say Regards, Steve **Q: Is this suitable for vegans?** A: Hi yes this is suitable for vegans. The ingredients are: water, annatto seed, corn flour, salt, garlic, spices, acetic acid and sodium benzoate as a preservative **Q: Does this have any additives or preservative?** A: Hi, the ingredients are Ingredients 'WATER, ANNATTO SEED, CORN FLOUR, SALT, GARLIC SPICES, ACETIC ACID AND SODIUM BENZOATE AS PRESERVATIVES.' Hope this helps, any queries just say, regards Steve ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great taste *by C***L on 29 March 2025* Great taste used it for a quick marinate for burritos ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap and easy achiote paste *by J***K on 18 June 2023* Living in the UK it can be difficult to get anything close to the ingredients for Mexican food, so this is a really nice substitute for fresh achiote peppers. I use about a teaspoon to substitute for 2 peppers and while it's not a perfect substitute, it's the closest I've found. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good standby and decent flavour. *by M***N on 16 November 2025* A good substitute if you can't be bothered making your own achiote, from a reliable brand. Best kept refrigerated once opened and used promptly, as it loses its punch over time. This paste is authentically pungent, but mild on the chilli heat. ## Frequently Bought Together - El Yucateco Paste Achiote, 3.5 oz - Dried Ancho Chiles Peppers 4 oz – Natural & Premium for Authentic Mexican Mole, Sauces, Stews, Salsas, and More!
