Numex Big Jim 12" Long! 50+ Chiles Rellenos Pepper Mild Heat Organic Non-gmo Numex Big Jim 12" LONG! Chiles Rellenos Pepper Mild Heat Organic NON-GMO The Numex Big Jim is listed in the Guinness book of world Records as the producer of the largest Chile pods ever grown, with specimens in excess of a foot long (12inches) not unknown. The variety was developed in the mid 1970s by Dr. Nakayama as a result of breeding program at the New Mexico State University (NMSU), home of the Chile Pepper Institute. Plants grown easily and vigorously and are surprisingly small in comparison to the gigantic pods growing between 24" to 36" high. Up to 30 pods may grow on a single plant, which ripen from green to a deep red approximately 80 days after transplanting seedlings. Due to the pod size and MILD HEAT quotient (500 to 2,500 SHU), Big Jim is perfect for making decorative 'ristras' as well as the classic (and very tasty) chile relleno dish. Flavor treat from the American Southwest. All are related to Anaheim Chili with varying maturities and Heat. Quantity : 50 Seeds
