How to Purchase & Store Bell Peppers

Look for brightly colored peppers with a firm thick flesh. Bell peppers, also called sweet peppers, should not be soft, dull in color or have spots. Red, purple and yellow bell peppers are green originally, but change color as they mature. Store unwashed peppers in the refrigerator in a perforated plastic bag, or loosely wrapped in a plastic bag for about 1 week. To prepare, wash thoroughly and cut away the core. Remove seeds and membrane. Wrap cut pieces tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
