Vitamin E Tocotrienol

Edit : The yellowish orange color of annatto seed are classified as carotenoids. However, unlike beta-carotene, another well-known carotenoid, they do not have the correct chemical structures to be vitamin A precursors.

seed is the part containing Vitamin E Tocotrienol.

You can find the vitamins in the food preparing with annatto seed as an ingredient,e.g.,Tikin Xik (traditional dish in the Yucatan,Mexico), Kare-kare (Filipino dish),etc.
