Badia Sazón Tropical Seasoning with Coriander & Annatto, 1.75 lb

Sazón Tropical with Coriander & Annatto is the all-purpose color-and-flavor base of Cuban and Pan-Latin cooking. Annatto (achiote) gives it the golden-orange hue that defines yellow rice and stewed meats; coriander brings a citrusy, slightly sweet layer behind the garlic and salt.

Common Uses

Season arroz amarillo, arroz con gandules, and arroz con pollo. Stir into the sofrito for ropa vieja, carne guisada, pollo guisado, and habichuelas. Rub onto pork before roasting lechón or pernil. Use it to season ground beef for picadillo and empanada fillings, or sprinkle over fish before pan-frying for a Caribbean-style escabeche.

Cuisine Context

From Havana to San Juan to Santo Domingo, this is the seasoning home cooks reach for daily. The coriander-and-annatto formula is the traditional profile — what most cooks mean when they say "sazón." It belongs in any kitchen working through Cuban, Puerto Rican, or Dominican recipes.

Pro Tip

Combine with a splash of olive oil and lime juice to make a quick wet rub for chicken thighs or skirt steak. Let it sit 30 minutes before grilling for color that holds through the sear.
