Consumer Handling Tips
Storage Life: Refrigerator – 5 days
Selection: Choose peppers that are smooth, firm, and glossy. Avoid peppers with soft spots or shriveling.
Storage: Store peppers in plastic bags in the refrigerator. Do not store peppers next to ethylene producing fruits (apples, pears, bananas).
Freezing: To freeze, either roast the peepers and remove the skin and seeds; or slice raw and remove seeds. Store in sealable plastic bags or air tight containers.
Preparation: Wash hands thoroughly for 20 seconds with warm soap and water. Rinse peppers briefly under cool water (no soap) and pat dry.
