It's Achiote, from the Yucatan, it starts out as a seed, then ground into a paste or brick, you take a small amout (maybe 1/4 cup) and mix with
orange juice. it is used as a marinade for meat dishes... it is not hot like chili...

Geeze I guess I'd better ask some other than a Mexican. 
Victor says Paprika but I Googled it. He's crazy as usual. Good grief, next time ask a Nomad.
Sounds like a great addition to a kitchen. Bob, where did you procure such an item?

Everyone uses Achiote here so it's in most all the stores in a small box...it is the preferred marinade for BBQ chicken...very yummy
