Biggie Chile Hybrid Hot Jalapeño Pepper
Growing Biggie Chile Hybrid Hot Jalapeño Pepper
‘Biggie Chile,’ also known as ‘Sahuaro,’ is a hybrid pepper prized for its large fruits, prolific yields, and medium heat. Thick-fleshed green chiles offer jalapeño-like pungency and mature from green to red on widely adapted plants.
Start ‘Biggie Chile’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants 24 to 36 inches apart. Grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs especially well in warm conditions.
Ready to harvest in about 68 days, pick fruits green for classic chile flavor or allow them to ripen red for a mature harvest.
Meaty, moderately hot, and versatile, ‘Biggie Chile’ is excellent for roasting, broiling, dicing, sauces, and drying.
