Meet the pepper that’s as bold as it is big! The Big Jim Chili Pepper is famous for producing impressively large, meaty pods — often reaching up to 12 inches long — with a mild to medium heat that’s just right for chili, roasting, or stuffing. The flavor is rich and slightly sweet, making it a crowd-pleaser for both pepper lovers and those who like a little spice without going overboard.
Plants grow strong and sturdy, producing high yields all season long. You can harvest them green for a milder flavor or let them ripen to a deep red for maximum sweetness and heat. Perfect for grilling whole, chopping into salsa, or roasting for a smoky kick.
