achote
A plant (Bixa Orellana) with medicinal applications. The red sediment from its seeds is mixed with oil to treat burns, while a syrup made from the seeds is used for jaundice and liver issues. Its leaves are used to treat headaches and nerve pain. (In Venezuela, it is most common as a natural red food coloring).
You have to fry and prepare the achote to color the dough for the hallacas (a traditional Venezuelan dish).
