Storage methods for尖椒 (chili peppers)
尖椒 grown in different regions will also mature at different times. In southern regions, they generally start to mature in June-July of summer and continue to do so until November. In northern regions, most will mature in October-November in autumn.
It is usually more suitable to plant 尖椒 in the spring of each year, with the specific suitable sowing time being from mid-March to early April. The climate at this time is relatively suitable, allowing the plants to survive quickly after planting. The key to storing 尖椒 is to control the humidity of the storage environment at an appropriate temperature, with 80%~90% being ideal.
The most common method for preserving 尖椒 is to first clean the surface of the peppers, wipe away any surface moisture, prepare a clean bag, sprinkle in some table salt, put in the peppers, seal the bag, and then place it in a cool, well-ventilated area. This method can keep the peppers from spoiling for up to a month.
1. Drying for storage:
尖椒 can also be stored in a room that gets sunlight and has good ventilation, such as a kitchen windowsill. After drying for 3 days, they can then be sealed and stored.
2. Refrigerator storage:
When stored in the refrigerator for a long time, 尖椒 can become "frostbitten," turning black, soft, and developing an off taste. Therefore, it is best to store them in an environment of 7-8 degrees Celsius.
