Geschiedenis & Cultuur
Legend says Minorcan settlers working on Florida’s indigo plantations introduced datil seeds from the Caribbean. The pepper thrived in St. Augustine’s humid climate and became a local treasure. Annual datil festivals celebrate its heritage, and the city recognizes it as an official pepper. Small farms continue to cultivate heirloom datil plants, keeping the tradition alive through sauces like “Bottled Hell.”
Plantkunde & Kweekinstructies
▼
Datils prefer warm, humid environments. Start seeds indoors 10 weeks before planting and maintain 27°C for germination. Transplant when nights stay above 18°C. Plants reach about 90 cm tall and produce clusters of pods. Provide rich soil, consistent water, and mulch to retain moisture. Expect 100 to 110 days to first ripe peppers.

Wear gloves and eye protection when handling datils. Provide ventilation when simmering sauces. If oil contacts skin, wash immediately with soap, then apply dairy or alcohol to calm burn.
