Big Jim bears chiles ideal for stuffing.
New Mexico Big Jim Pepper
- Fruit size: 10 to 12 inches
- Matures: 76 days
- Scoville heat units: 500 to 2,500 (mild)
Introduced in 1975 by New Mexico State University, this cross between a Peruvian chile and various types from New Mexico produces high yields of bright green, mildly hot fruit that mature to red. It is popular because of the very long, tasty, 10- to 12-inch pods. An obvious choice for chiles rellenos, Big Jim may vary some in pungency from plant to plant. Space transplants 18 inches apart in rows 30 inches apart.
Some Bonnie Plants varieties may not be available at your local stores, as we select and sell varieties best suited to the growing conditions in each region.

This is the best chile to use if you want to make chile rellenos. Big fruit, thick skin and a little heat but not overpowering. Alos excellent to roast and freze for later use. (Posted on 4/3/12)Taste Yield
