Spicy Gem of St. Augustine

Common Names: Datil Pepper
Family: Solanaceae
Origin: St. Augustine, Florida (believed to be brought from Minorca, Spain)

The Datil Pepper (Capsicum chinense) is a small, spicy heirloom chili pepper that packs a flavorful punch. Known for its sweet, fruity flavor with a heat level similar to habanero, the Datil Pepper is a staple in the cuisine of St. Augustine, Florida, where it has been grown for over a century. Despite its heat, which measures between 100,000 and 300,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), the Datil Pepper is celebrated for its unique taste, making it ideal for hot sauces, marinades, and relishes. This versatile pepper is not only a local treasure but also a favorite among chili enthusiasts.

Distinctive Features, Uses, and Nutritional Value

Fruits: The Datil Pepper is small, measuring 1-3 inches in length, and ripens to a bright yellow or orange color. The peppers are known for their intense heat and fruity, tangy flavor, often compared to the habanero but with a slightly sweeter undertone.

Growth Habit: Datil Peppers grow as compact, bushy plants, reaching about 2-4 feet tall. They are highly productive, often yielding an abundance of peppers from late summer through fall.

Nutritional Value: Datil Peppers are rich in vitamins A and C, as well as capsaicin, the compound responsible for their heat. Capsaicin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolism-boosting properties.

Culinary and Medicinal Uses

Datil Peppers are commonly used in hot sauces, salsas, and marinades, adding both heat and flavor to a variety of dishes. They are a key ingredient in the cuisine of St. Augustine, often used in seafood dishes, relishes, and barbecue sauces. Despite their fiery heat, their fruity undertone makes them a versatile pepper for both savory and sweet applications.

Medicinally, the capsaicin in Datil Peppers has been used for its pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and metabolism-boosting benefits. Regular consumption of spicy foods containing capsaicin is believed to support heart health and digestive health.

Beautiful color
Color: Rose
This lip shine is a beautiful color with just the right amount of shine. I wanted something for everyday wear that was moisturizing with a little color and this met my expectations. As most all lip shines, it has to be reapplied frequently.

Great SPF lip protection and color
Color: Plum
Love the texture and color for an SPF balm. Is great lip perfection just getting used to the taste and smell. But I love this one better than other spf lip balm as it's mineral vs chemical sunscreen. Especially for lips!!

Pricy
Color: Rose
I used to buy this regularly a couple of years ago, but stopped buying because of the price. Then I bought it again, because I haven't found any other SPF lip glosses or balms that don't irritate my lips. Unfortunately, I don't know if they have changed the formulation or what, but now I'm getting irritated lips from this one too. I love the shade and the feel of it, but the whole reason why I use it is for the sun protection. I just don't know why SPF always seems to irritate my lips. I was hoping this one, being at a higher price point and a good brand would be the one that doesn't. But the hunt is still on.
