Datil – the OG variant

St. Augustine Florida made this little pepper famous by integrating it into the local cuisine. Looks vaguely like a jalapeno – don’t be fooled! Hugely popular pepper for making sauces, general cooking, and jellies. A spoonful of datil pepper jam atop a block of cream cheese? Yes please! Datil pepper seeds are your solution.

as a heads up – there are two common phenotypes of datil. This particular variety is the type with more chinense features and has a pointier bottom.  The other version can be found here. St. Augustine pepper purists insist this is the real OG!

200000 SHU. This is an estimate. Scoville ratings will change based on growing conditions.
