Where can I buy annatto powder and banana leaves?
• I know Jon’s Marketplace carries them, but I’m not sure if there is one over near you. http://www.jonsmarketplace.com/locati… Permalink | Reply jencounter Sep 24, 2007 09:47AM • I’ve never Seen Annatto Powder… I’ve seen seeds and PASTE. I use the paste… I was just at Don Felix this weekend and saw they had the paste. Also Whole Foods sells fresh banana leaves. For one stop, check out Top Valu on Inglewood. They should both the Paste and Leaves (most likely frozen, but those will work just fine) –Dommy!

I’ve read a few recipes for cochinita pibil and home made paste was preferred over store-bought.
