AAA - Orange Datil Pepper Flakes

Magic Plant Orange Datil Pepper Flakes

The Floridian Favorite—Sweet, Tangy Heat with a Specialized Flavor.

Overview

Our natural Orange Datil Pepper packs a significant heat at 100,000 to 300,000 (SHUs). Similar to its cousins in the Habanero family, the Datil has a heat that lingers pleasantly. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sweet and tangy flavor! Our Orange Datil crushed flakes and dry chili products are very hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat builds and stays with you, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Datil Pepper is a rare variety primarily grown in St. Augustine, Florida, resulting in its legendary status and unique flavor. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Orange Datil peppers have a distinctive appearance with a slender, slightly wrinkled texture and a bright orange-yellow color. They are often characterized by their small, tapered shape, giving them a "pointy" and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

The Experience

Orange Datil peppers are known to be a "secret weapon" for gourmet chefs! So why eat it? Like most chili peppers, in certain amounts the sensation can be quite pleasing and causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which make you feel pleasure. Studies suggest that Capsaicin may have certain health benefits, such as pain relief, improved digestion, and potential metabolism-boosting effects. Eat with caution but enjoy the complex flavor provided by Magic Plant Farms' Datil peppers. Use our premium quality dry chili pepper products once and you’ll be hooked forever! This pepper is perfect in small doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our dry flakes with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the sweet, tangy flavor of the Orange Datil without the overwhelming heat.
