They grow their own! Did you know datil peppers are found in abundance in St. Augustine and their spicy flavor is known world-wide!
The datil is unique to other peppers because it is similar in its heat index to a habanero, hitting at around 100,000 to 300,000 on the Scoville scale--a scale used to measure the spiciness of peppers. But unlike habaneros, datil peppers are sweet, with a fruitful tangy taste to them.
The fruit of datil peppers grows to be anywhere from 1/4 inch to 4 inches long, and they are a yellowish-orange color when ripe.
