Wrap each vegetable in this – and the pepper will remain fresh and elastic until the New Year. Secret life hack

To keep the pepper in perfect condition, it must be laid out in a thin layer in plastic boxes with holes. In this case, each fruit must be wrapped in paper. In such conditions, the fruits will be perfectly preserved – they will not wither, and those fruits that are not fully ripe will fully ripen.

Secrets of long-term storage

1. Do not wash peppers before storing. Water destroys the natural protective coating, which causes the fruits to wither faster and become vulnerable to microorganisms.
2. Provide air circulation. Place the peppers in a thin layer and do not cover the boxes tightly – the fruits must “breathe”.
3. Sort your crops regularly. Remove damaged copies. Harvest fully ripe fruits first.
