Big Jim Hatch Chili Peppers developed through rigorous breeding at New Mexico State University, represent the gold standard for authentic green chili production. These exceptional heirloom peppers deliver mild heat ranging from 15,000–30,000 Scoville units paired with a complex, rich flavor profile that distinguishes them from commercial alternatives. The heavy-producing plants yield impressively large fruits measuring up to 12 inches in length and 2 to 3 inches wide—substantially larger than most chili varieties—with sturdy stems engineered to support abundant harvests. The robust plant structure and prolific fruiting make Big Jim an outstanding choice for both home gardeners and serious cultivators seeking maximum yield and superior quality. Mature fruits in approximately 85 days with our Non-GMO heirloom seeds, which germinate at 80% or higher for reliable establishment. Whether roasting whole for traditional New Mexico-style preparations, stuffing for elegant presentations, or processing into sauces and salsas, Big Jim peppers deliver exceptional versatility. David's Garden Seeds® packages these premium heirloom seeds in sustainable, eco-friendly materials, honoring both the agricultural heritage of this legendary variety and our commitment to environmental stewardship.
