Thank you for helping us Save the Datil!

Our love for the Datil Pepper drives our mission to bring this amazing pepper to the World- one flavorful bite at a time. Once you have experienced the datil's unique sweet, fruity, and tangy bite- you will be captivated!
Datil Peppers are finicky to grow requiring far more hands-on attention than habaneros or jalapenos, therefore, it's one of the rarest chilis. We have dubbed our Datil Peppers as “Mayhem” Datil Peppers because our family goes to great lengths to cultivate the best heirloom quality Datil Peppers anywhere!

Mayhem Datil Pepper Guidance
- There are only two colors in heirloom datil peppers. In our opinion, Mature Green Datil Peppers have a more green earthy overtone with slightly more heat. Unlike a tomato, datil peppers do not ripen off the vine. As a Datil Pepper ripens it transitions from green through yellow to brilliant orange, "All Ripe". We feel the flavor is sweeter but the heat level drops slightly.
- "Mixed color" Mayhem Datil Pepper packages include mature green datil peppers with some "all ripe'" orange, with the majority green (85%).
- Again, Datil Peppers DO NOT ripen off the vine like tomatoes. If you prefer "All Ripe" orange Datil Peppers, please choose our "All Ripe" Orange Datil Pepper option. There is a higher cost due to more vine time.
- 1/4 lb. packages included 15-25 datils and 1/2 lb. packages include 30-50 datils. The Datil Pepper has a wide variety of mature sizes.
- Important note from your Mayhem Datil Peppers: Please track us closely, removing us from your mailbox and refrigerate us as quickly as possible. Thank you! Your Mayhem Datil Peppers
