| May Featured Products

| This months Featured products are from CrackerHouse Sauces and The Honey Company (Betty B's). CrackerHouse Sauces makes Fire and Medium Hot Sauces, Hot and Medium Wing Sauces and Honey Mustard. Their products use the Datil Pepper that is famous in the St. Augustine, Florida area. Datil Peppers are a bit sweeter and fruitier than Habaneros and have a spiciness ranging from 100,000 to 300,000 Scoville Units. Mature fruit are 1” to 3” in length and are yellow/orange. St. Augustine, Florida is known for its Datil Peppers and Datil Pepper Hot Sauces.The majority of Datils are produced in St. Augustine, FL where they have been grown for over 250 years. In addition to their heat, Hot Peppers offer several health benefits. They are a good source of potassium, iron, vitamins A, B, C and E, low in sodium and calories, and have no carbohydrates. Peppers improve digestion and can increase your metabolic rate by up to 25%, which is beneficial to the dieter. One study by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center indicates that capsaicin (the stuff that makes makes peppers hot) in high dosage is effective in killing prostate cancer cells. Another study published by the BBC News states that Chili peppers could help scientists to develop an effective treatment for patients with arthritis. About 20 years ago CrackerHouse Sauces received a Datil Pepper plant as a gift and the original "Sweet and Sassy sauce of the South" was born. The family still grows their own Datil peppers. CrackerHouse Sauces began as a simple homemade recipe enjoyed by friends and families and are now available for you. To learn more about the Datil and other peppers, see our Hot Pepper Selection Guide. |
