Our Orange Datil ground pepper, crushed flakes, and fermented puree are very hot (spicy), so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is distinct and immediate, so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Datil Pepper is a legendary variety primarily grown in St. Augustine, Florida, resulting in its unique flavor and local fame. Intense Heat and Endorphin Rush.

The Experience

Orange Datil Peppers are known to be the pride of Minorcan-style cooking! 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 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!

Looking for a Custom Blend?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating such hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our fermented puree 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 signature sweetness of the Datil without the overwhelming heat.
