Preparation & storage
Storage
Peppers last longer if you store them properly. It is best to store the pepper in the crisper section of the fridge at a temperature of between 8°C and 10°C.
You can also freeze the pepper. The flavour will not be lost this way.
How do I know if the pepper is no longer good? The pepper smells sour, becomes limp or mouldy. You can quickly recognise this decay by looking or smelling.
Preparation
The seeds and the seeds of peppers are the sharpest and spiciest. You can remove these before using.
Cut the pepper with a sharp knife and avoid touching it with your hands. Don't rub your eyes after slicing pepper!
