Following the general rule of "If it's a pepper product and you don't know 
what it is, buy it" I got a small package of La Costenita's "chile para 
naranja" at a local Latino grocery (El Inka at Sawmill & 161).  The package 
helpfully translates the name as "chile for orange."

It's a fine-ground orange-colored powder, with a slow burn and (I think) a 
bit of actual orange flavor.  But I'm not sure whether I'm really tasting a 
citrus tang.

So what the heck is it used for?  I searched on yahoo, and got no exact 
hits.  But I am imagining a nice cubed orange salad, maybe with some minced 
Bermuda onion, and a sprinkle of this...
