Storage and preparation:
Fresh sweet peppers will keep a week or longer. Seal them, unwashed, in
a plastic bag or in a perforated plastic vegetable bag.
Peppers should be washed just before using. To prepare peppers without
cutting them up, cut out the stem and remove the seeds and ribs by
pulling them out with your hands. The stem, seeds and ribs should come
out in one piece. Turn the pepper upside down and knock out any
remaining seeds. For cut peppers, it is easier to core them by slicing
the whole pepper in half lengthwise and pulling out the seeds and ribs.
