THE ACHIOTE
In my country, Venezuela is known as onoto. It has many healing properties, the leaves act against sore throats, respiratory conditions, kidney pain, skin and vaginal inflammations, fever, hypertension, blood vomiting, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, angina, abscesses, headache, skin infections and conjunctivitis.
Here we can see that it is still green, the capsule must be brown in order to harvest.
It is a natural colorant used as a colorant and seasoning in popular food
It has very showy flowers and the fruit is a spiked capsule that keeps red seeds with a triangular shape inside.
It’s free to use stock photo at will.
