Their flavor is earthy and subtly peppery, with faint notes of nutmeg. They're primarily used as a natural food coloring, but also contribute a gentle, aromatic warmth when cooked in oil or fat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo use, heat the seeds in oil or butter until the oil turns deep orange, then remove the seeds and use the vibrant infused oil as the base for rice, meat marinades, or the classic Puerto Rican sofrito and recaito.
