What is bija? In case you’ve never heard of the thing, bija is commonly used in my country, the Dominican Republic, and other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. I’ve learned that in the U.S., it is usually known as annatto or achiote seeds. I usually keep the seeds in a bottle with oil so it gives it color and flavor, but also because of its amazing nutritional and medicinal powers.
