Badia Sazón without Annatto, 7 oz

Sazón without Annatto — the Cuban and Pan-Latin seasoning base of cumin, coriander, garlic, and oregano, formulated without annatto for cooks who want the savory depth without the orange-red color. It's the quiet workhorse behind arroz, frijoles, and slow-simmered guisos.

Common Uses

Season Cuban black beans and white rice, stir into picadillo and ropa vieja, rub onto pollo asado and lechón before roasting, flavor sofrito at the start of any stew, and season ground beef for empanada and pastelito fillings. Works across Puerto Rican habichuelas guisadas, Dominican sancocho, and Caribbean rice and pigeon peas where the cook wants seasoning without color.

Cuisine Context

Sazón is the everyday pantry seasoning across Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and broader Caribbean Latin kitchens. The no-annatto version is what abuelas reach for when the dish already has tomato or wine carrying the color — black bean soup, white rice, chicken fricassee — and the seasoning needs to stay invisible.

Pro Tip

Bloom a packet's worth into hot oil with onion, green pepper, and garlic before adding liquid — that's how sofrito builds its foundation, and the dish tastes like it simmered all afternoon.
