How to extend the shelf life of peppers

Got a bountiful harvest of a popular garden crop? Don't rush to send the peppers to the cellar right away!

First wash the fruits and then completely remove any drops of water from their surface.

Next, "pack" each pepper. As a "protective material" you can use a regular A4 sheet of paper.

Oddly enough, using thick paper is the secret to long-term storage of vegetables.

Peppers will remain tasty and juicy for up to six months.

Do not forget that these fruits should be stored at a temperature of 0…+2 degrees. It is desirable that the air humidity be 80-90 percent.
