Bell pepper selection criteria

Bell peppers are available all throughout the year since they are not seasonal vegetable plants.
The table below provides tips on how select healthy and quality bell peppers.
Once at home, should be stored in the refrigerator in a plastic bag where they will stay fresh for not more than days. If stored for prolonged periods they may sustain chill injury and obviously lose their quality.
