The NuMex Big Jim is a good reminder that you can't judge a chili pepper's heat by its size. Ranging from 2,500 to 3,000 Scoville heat units (SHU), the NuMex Big Jim is not that big on overall spiciness. It barely sits in medium heat territory, only reaching the same heat as milder jalapeño peppers.
