Datil Pepper Flakes bring a bright, fruity heat associated especially with St. Augustine, Florida. Datil has real fire, but it also has a sweet, tropical, almost citrusy fruitiness that makes it more interesting than a generic crushed red pepper.
Use it on seafood, eggs, grilled chicken, pork, roasted vegetables, pizza, tomato sauces, vinegar sauces, and citrus-forward rubs. For an already blended option, Citrus Kick Rub with Datil Pepper leans into that chile-plus-citrus pairing.
