The link above is a link to pictures of achiote. It basically makes the color different. Its a paste. Chamorro de cerdo is a leg of a pig.

Achiote paste

A combination of crushed achiote seed, vinegar, salt, garlic and spices which is typically formed into a small block. The paste is then diluted and added to stews or used as a rub for meats. It is a traditional ingredient used to make Ricado, a rub for suckling pig and other meats.

¡Hola!, Richard-Kozicki:

Here are some internet search results to help you in your search for achiote. ----> Achiote Search Results

I'm going to have to visit you sometime because you ask such interesting food questions. Are you sure you are not "Chef Boy-O-Boy" in disguise??

For "stuff" you cannot locate on Span¡shD!ct, a Google or Bing search is often very helpful.

Muchos saludos/Best regards,

Moe
