Urucum, also called Achiote and aploppas, is rich in bixin, a compound related to beta-carotene. It contains 100x as much bixin as carrots contain beta-carotene and it is rich in other minerals like magnesium, zinc, selenium and copper.
When the Portuguese arrived in Brazil and began exploring the Amazon, they noticed that the native peoples were covered with a red powder that protected them from the sun and mosquitos - this powder was Urucum. The Portuguese began to refer to them by their red skin, a term which then stuck in English too.
The composition may be subject to variations, so we advise you to always check the list on the purchased product.
