Big Jim Legacy - (Capsicum annum)

The Big Jim Legacy Pepper, a certified Hatch chile from New Mexico’s Hatch Valley, is renowned for its exceptional flavor, versatility, and thick flesh. Developed by legendary chile farmer Jim Lytle, this variety produces large, slender pods measuring 8–12 inches, perfect for roasting, chile rellenos, or red enchilada sauce when dried. With a mild to medium heat level and a small seed core, these peppers are easy to peel and ideal for stuffing. The pods transition from green to red as they ripen, with heat intensifying when red. Grown in the fertile soil and ideal climate of Hatch Valley, Big Jim Legacy embodies the distinctive New Mexican chile flavor that’s perfect for roasting, cooking, or drying.
