How to Store Habanero Peppers

Should they be kept refrigerated or at room temperature? Can they be frozen to last longer? In this video, we will explain the best ways to store habanero peppers to make them last longer.

How to Store Habanero Peppers: Habanero peppers should not be kept at room temperature as they will spoil very quickly. As soon as you buy them, place them in a plastic or paper bag and keep them in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator.

Whole habanero peppers typically last seven days in the refrigerator without spoiling. Wash the peppers only when you are ready to use them to prevent spoilage.

If the habanero peppers have already been washed and chopped, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for about three days without spoiling.
