Badia Sazón Tropical with Coriander & Annatto, 3.5 oz

Sazón Tropical with Coriander & Annatto is the seasoning that defines Cuban arroz amarillo, pollo guisado, and black beans. Coriander rounds out the garlic-and-cumin base with a soft citrus note, while annatto delivers the deep golden color Latin cooks expect in rice, stews, and marinades.

Common Uses

Season the pot for arroz con pollo, arroz amarillo, and frijoles negros. Rub it onto pernil, lechón, and bistec de palomilla before cooking. Stir into picadillo, ropa vieja, and carne guisada. Sprinkle over yuca con mojo, sweet plantains, or scrambled eggs for a Cuban-style desayuno.

Cuisine Context

This is the everyday sazón of Cuban home kitchens and the wider Pan-Latin pantry — Puerto Rican, Dominican, Colombian, and Venezuelan cooks all keep a version on the counter. The coriander addition softens the blend, making it especially good with poultry, seafood, and rice dishes where you want warmth without sharp heat.

Pro Tip

Mix a teaspoon into olive oil with minced garlic and lime juice for a 10-minute marinade on chicken thighs or shrimp. The annatto coats the protein, and the color carries through to the finished sear.
