What is amarillo / yellow coloring?

Yellow Coloring ("amarillo") is the powdered color blend that Cuban and Puerto Rican kitchens use to turn white rice into the deep golden-yellow color of arroz amarillo and paella. Made with annatto + corn flour + a touch of yellow food color, it delivers consistent color without the cost of saffron. Pure color and a tiny bit of warm flavor — unlike Sazón Tropical, it doesn't add the savory garlic/cumin/salt complexity. Use it when you want JUST color.

Amarillo vs Sazón vs Bijol vs Saffron

• Amarillo (this product): Pure color powder, mild flavor, cheapest per ounce
• Bijol: Color + light earthy annatto-cumin flavor (corn flour base)
• Sazón Tropical: Color + full savory seasoning (salt, garlic, cumin)
• Saffron: True saffron color + floral flavor at $5–10 per gram

Most Cuban-American kitchens stock Amarillo for everyday rice color and reach for one of the others when they need additional flavor or special occasions.

How to use

Stir 1 tsp into rice cooking water (per cup of rice) at the start. The rice turns golden-yellow as it cooks. Add to paella broth in the same proportion. Sprinkle into stews or sofritos when you want color without heavier flavor.

Why 22 oz Pack of 3?

The 22 oz size is the standard "cocinero serio" container — lasts a daily-rice Cuban household 6–9 months. Three containers = ~2 years of supply for an active home kitchen, or 6–8 months for a small Cuban restaurant doing daily arroz amarillo.
