description This document describes the datil pepper, a small, hot variety primarily grown in the St. Augustine area and favored by the Minorcan community. Believed to be a type of Capsicum sinense, it is characterized by multiple flowers per node and a distinct fruit shape. The pepper is cultivated similarly to other hot peppers, though it faces challenges like the pepper weevil. Datil peppers are commonly used to make hot sauces, often from family recipes, with one popular commercial version being “Dat’l-Do-It.” Original publication date May 1994.
