1. The cylinder storage method involves placing the green peppers with their stems facing upward inside a cylindrical container. A layer of green peppers is placed, followed by a layer of sand, ensuring that the sand is not thick enough to cover the peppers completely. This process continues until the container is nearly full. Once filled, two layers of kraft paper are placed on top to seal the cylinder, and it should be stored in a shaded area. When kept at 0°C, this method allows green peppers to be stored for up to two months, maintaining their freshness and quality.
2. The grass ash method is another effective way to store green peppers. First, the interior walls of a storage container or room are coated with a 3-5 cm thick layer of ash. The selected green peppers are then evenly placed on top of this layer. After each layer of peppers is added, a thin layer of ash is sprinkled over them. This technique helps preserve the green color of the peppers and prevents spoilage, allowing them to be stored for an extended period. Additionally, the ash acts as a natural desiccant, reducing moisture and preventing mold growth, making it an excellent traditional preservation method.
This method is especially useful in areas where refrigeration is limited, and it has been used for generations in many rural communities. It's a simple yet effective technique that requires minimal resources and can significantly extend the shelf life of green peppers. Whether you're looking for a sustainable storage solution or just want to keep your peppers fresh longer, both the cylinder and grass ash methods offer practical and time-tested options.
