If I am not mistaken, a common snack in Mexico is orange sections sprinkled
with red chile. I have also made a salad of oranges, cucumbers, jicima, and
shaved fennel topped with pickled red onion and a generous amount of
powdered chile. Very, very good.

Subject: [CH] chile para naranja
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...
