Description
Big Jim is one of the most popular Hatch-type chile peppers, developed at New Mexico State University and formerly held the Guinness record for largest chile pepper pod. These large, thick-walled pods can reach 12 inches or more, with medium heat and a rich, earthy flavor that is the hallmark of New Mexico green chile.
Prolific and versatile — perfect for roasting, stuffing chile rellenos, green chile stew, and freezing for year-round use. A staple for anyone who loves authentic Hatch green chile.
