Maynard/ Boston area I can find these things.  I've looked nearly everywhere.


Thanks,

Jim

	A couple of places you might try: Savoury Lane, on Rt2A in Acton, in the same plaza as the movie theatres. This is a deli, but they have a large selection of oddball spices and things, including all the K-Paul's Cajun mixes. Other place: also on 2A, a bit west, called Joyce Chen's Oriental Kitchen. A food store chock full of exotic stuff, some of which is labeled in Mandarin and I have no idea what it is. Lots of spices. Both places are worth visiting even if they don't have Annato seeds (and I'll bet they do!)

	Anatto is a South American spice. It can be found in the GOYA section of most grocery stores inside rt. 128. I have personally seen it in Waltham Supermarket. They have the most extensive spanish food section I've seen so far. I beleive it also comes in a crystalized version referred to as achiote. I can't seem to find this in the acton area stores, but I used it a lot when I lived east. It's a wonderful spice. Casey

	Goya brand can be found almost anywhere, usually in the ethnic food section. However, Goya's annatto goes by the Spanish name, anchiote. --PSW
