10 dried/dehydrated Whole Datil Peppers (with the seeds).

These can be used as a spice in a grinder to heat up your favorite foods or make hot sauce. I dried these in a dehydrator and have not tested these seeds for germination yet - I do sell the seeds themselves (dried in the sun) separately. Selling these mostly for people to try the dried peppers as a spice.

The datil pepper is a member of the chinense species of Capsicum, which includes some of the hottest of all peppers, such as habanero and Scotch Bonnet. All of these pepper varieties have Scoville measurements between 100,000 and 300,000.

The datil pepper, when ripe, is orange, elongated in shape, and between one and three inches (2.5-7.6 cm) in length. These go from green (green peppers on the top of my bushes got a purple tint to them - I guess from the sun - really very pretty!), to yellow to orange.

The datil pepper has been cultivated by the Minorcan community living in the city of St. Augustine, Florida since the 18th century (did you know that St. Augustine is our nation's OLDEST city?). It has been speculated that the peppers originated in the Caribbean, possibly brought to St. Augustine from Cuba by a jelly maker named S. B. Valls.

Fresh datil peppers and seeds can be very difficult to find outside of the St. Augustine area, although the plant can be grown anywhere.
