Big Jim: The Giant Pepper for Stuffing
The Big Jim (Capsicum annuum), also known as Numex Big Jim, is a pepper that stands out not for its heat, but for its record-breaking size. Originating from New Mexico, USA, it is recognized by the Guinness World Records as the largest chili pepper in the world.
Intensity and Classification
Big Jim is categorized as "Mild", with a very low Scoville (SHU) rating, typically between 500 to 3,000 SHU. Its goal is not to burn, but to provide a thick-fleshed, mild, and juicy fruit, ideal for consuming in large volumes. It is the perfect pepper for family cooking.
Shape, Aroma, and Cooking
Its main attribute is the impressive size, reaching 20 to 35 cm in length. The skin is sweet and the flesh is medium-thick, with a mild and slightly fruity flavor. It is the top choice for being stuffed, fried (chiles rellenos), or pickled due to its large format.
Versatility and Appearance
The plant is vigorous and productive, growing up to 120 cm. Fruits are usually harvested green, but turn deep red when ripe. Big Jim offers the perfect balance between size, flavor, and extremely low heat.
Big Jim - SHU 3,000. Pack of 10 selected seeds, with identification label for species, origin, and heat level.
