Where can I buy Paprika oleoresin in small quantity?!
I tried amazon but they only have books on it, and not the real thing. Where can I get that in America? What kind of food store would carry it?

You won't find it because it is classified as a coloring agent in the US. You'll have to make some yourself. It is oil soluble, which means that if you heat chili flakes in oil, it will come out of the Chillies. It is basically capsaicin, capsanthin, and capsorubin. Check out your local Indian Mart/Asian grocery store/bulk dry goods place.
