According to Express, to prevent spoilage of peppers and other vegetables, you can use a simple method with a bag and a paper towel.

Here are some tips on how to store peppers properly:

1. Give preference to green bell peppers as they can be stored longer than red or yellow ones.
2. Keep the peppers whole. Sliced fruits quickly become soft and spoil quickly.
3. Set aside a separate compartment in the refrigerator for peppers and place them as far away from tomatoes and cucumbers as possible.
4. Before storing peppers, be sure to wash and dry them thoroughly.
5. Fold a paper towel in half and place it in a tight plastic bag. Add one or two peppers and close the bag tightly.
