The datil is a very hot pepper, a variety of the species Capsicum chinense. Datils are similar in strength to habaneros but have a sweeter, fruitier flavor. Their level of spiciness may vary from 100,000 to 350,000 on the Scoville scale. Mature peppers are about 3.5 in long and yellow-orange in color.
