The Capsicum chinense (Chili) Big Sun is a striking and productive chili known for its intense flavor, tropical aroma, and high heat. This variety belongs to the Capsicum chinense species, one of the best-known and most beloved chili varieties in the world, originating from tropical South America. Big Sun combines vigorous growth with a large yield of long, thick fruits, making it suitable for both greenhouses and experienced home gardeners seeking an impressive chili experience.
The Big Sun chili produces large, conical-shaped fruits averaging 10–15 cm (4–6 in) long and 3–5 cm (1–2 in) wide. The skin is firm and glossy, and the color changes from bright green to intense red as it ripens. These fruits have a high heat (approximately 100,000–350,000 Scoville units), typical of Capsicum chinense , and a complex fruity aroma reminiscent of tropical fruits and citrus.
The special thing about Big Sun is the combination of spiciness and flavor: in addition to the fiery heat, the pepper has a subtle sweetness and aromatic depth, making it not only spicy but also culinary versatile.
The Capsicum chinense Big Sun grows into a medium to large, bushy plant, 70–120 cm tall, depending on care and conditions. The plants branch well and produce numerous flowers that develop into thick, long fruits.
Cultivation information for optimal growth:
Sowing: February–April indoors in light, moist seed compost
Germination temperature: 25–28°C for fast and uniform germination
Prick out: when there are 2-3 true leaves
Plant out: after the last frost, mid-May or later
Location: warm, sunny and sheltered; greenhouse or conservatory increases yield considerably
Soil: fertile, airy and well-drained; organic fertilizer encourages healthy growth
Capsicum chinense varieties require a long growing season and are sensitive to cold. Regular watering, avoiding waterlogging, and supplementing with organic fertilizers will ensure a healthy and productive plant.
The Big Sun chili produces an abundant harvest throughout the season, usually from summer until the first frost. The berries can be harvested young for a milder flavor, or fully ripe for maximum heat and aroma.
Culinary applications:
Fresh preparations: cut into sauces or salsas for intense flavor and heat
Grilling or roasting: enhances the fruity aromas
Canning or fermenting: ideal for hot sauce or chili paste
Drying or powdering: the firm skin retains color and flavor
