Price excl. shipping costsDátil (=Spanish: Date) – also known as Yellow Lantern Chili – is unique to the St. Augustine region of Florida, USA. This actually lantern-shaped chili is offered there both at markets and in “Date Pepper Shops”. It’s said that this chili originally comes from the island of Menorca and was brought to Florida by emigrants. The plants of this Capsicum chinense need warm temperatures and high humidity to develop in a best way. Under ideal cultivation conditions, they produce very hot pods with an excellent, fruity flavor.
