Probably the best point of reference for fresh Datils would
be another chinense variety and a favorite of many
CHs.....the Hab. Datils have a unique fruity aroma and
taste that is similar to a Hab, but they are not as hot.
The can be used in all the ways you would normally use fresh
Habs, salsas, stir fry, sauces, etc. They dry quicker than
Habs because the pods have thinner walls and they make good
powder.
