- Abstract
This essay explores the origins of the Datil pepper, a variety of the species Capsicum chinense that are produced in St. Augustine, Florida. Topics discussed include the role of the Minorcan migrant laborers in bringing Datil seeds to the Florida colony in the 18th century and the value of the pepper's Minorcan mythology in a cultural tourism context. Also discussed is a brief history of Spanish St. Augustine and the marketing of the Datil hot pepper sauce using its Minorcan origins.
