Handling & Storage

Bell peppers should have a thick, firm, and bright glossy skin no matter what color. Avoid peppers that are shriveled or have soft spots.

Refrigerate bell peppers in a plastic bag and use within 5 days.

Before using, wash and remove the stem and seeds. When chopping peppers, keep the inside of the pepper facing up against the knife blade.
