How to store small hot peppers so they last a long time? These few methods are very practical

Small hot peppers are a kind of chili pepper that is very small in size and full of heat, and they are very popular on the market. Many people buy some to take home and pickle into pickles and so on, so how do you store small hot peppers?

Methods for storing fresh small hot peppers:

1. First wash the small hot peppers you bought clean, then remove the stem ends of the peppers, put them in a ventilated place to air-dry, put them in a freezer bag, and place them in the refrigerator to freeze. When you want to eat them, hold them under the tap to rinse for one minute, then chop them up. The taste is in no way inferior to the taste of fresh small hot peppers, and it will absolutely make you cry from the heat.

2. First light a candle to melt some candle wax, dip the stem of each small hot pepper to be stored in the candle wax, and after it cools put them into a freezer bag, seal the bag opening tightly, and place them in a 10°C environment, where they can be stored for 2 to 3 months.

3. After small hot peppers are fully ripe, they can also be sun-dried to make dried chilies for storage.

Methods for storing dried small hot peppers:

1. Moisture-proofing: tightly tie the opening of a sealed plastic bag around the well-dried small hot peppers, or if conditions allow, suck the air out of it. Reducing the moisture inside is the main method, or add a desiccant inside.

2. Refrigerator storage: after small hot peppers are sun-dried, the moisture is evaporated, so as long as they are sealed and placed in a cool, dry place they can be stored, or tie the bag tightly and place it in the refrigerator for cold storage. Refrigerator cold storage can extend the shelf life of the peppers.

3. Sealed storage: buy a sealed jar from the supermarket for storage. Reducing the transmission routes of mold means keeping away from the flow of air, because the air contains a large amount of mold. Of course, adding additives to prevent mold is not suitable for a household method, so it is best to choose the sealing method.
