Fresh bell peppers do not keep for long and even in the refrigerator they slowly wither, losing their juiciness, elasticity and attractive appearance.
But you want to keep the pepper fresh for a long time, and to do this you need to use the following tips.
You can preserve sweet bell peppers without canning or freezing. Here's how to do it.
Firstly, the quality of the harvest
Only fresh vegetables that have not been damaged by pests or during transportation are left for fresh storage.
Secondly, cleanliness
There is no need to wash the vegetables, but you will have to clean them from dirt, dust and other debris.
Thirdly, the place
A well-ventilated room with moderate humidity is suitable.
A cellar or basement is a great option, but a balcony or loggia will also work if the peppers won’t be exposed to direct sunlight.
The air temperature should be within 10-15 degrees Celsius.
Fourthly, the container
It is better to use boxes with holes for air circulation.
To keep peppers for a long time, each one should be wrapped separately in several layers of thick paper.
It will protect the vegetables from contact with each other and prevent the vegetables from drying out.
Be sure to check your storage area periodically to prevent crop spoilage in time.
