Storage
Vitapep is best stored in a cool place (approx. 12-15 °C). Preferably in the original packaging. Packaged Vitapep stays fresh for longer.

Do not store fruit vegetables, such as Vitapep, in the refrigerator, as fruit vegetables want to ripen a little longer. Too cold a temperature disturbs this process.

If stored properly, Vitapeps will keep for up to a week.

You can also freeze Vitapep.
Movie: In this film, Winston Post shows you the best way to freeze sweet peppers.

Vitapeps can also be kept in the freezer. Just before freezing, blanch for 2 minutes (heat briefly). At a minimum of -18 °C, Vitapep will keep for up to 12 months in a well-sealed container or bag.

How can I tell if a Vitapep is no longer good? The Vitapep is mouldy or has rotten spots. You can recognise decay by looking, smelling or tasting.
