Orange bell peppers should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness and flavor. Place them in a crisper drawer or a plastic bag to prevent moisture loss. They typically last for 1-2 weeks when stored properly. Avoid washing them before storing as excess moisture can cause them to spoil faster. For longer storage, bell peppers can be frozen. Core and slice them, then blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes, followed by an ice bath. Drain well and freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer bag. Frozen bell peppers are best used in cooked dishes.
