Store fresh Scotch bonnet peppers in a paper bag or airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their flavor and freshness for up to 1-2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze them whole or chopped in a resealable freezer bag. Ensure they are dry before freezing to prevent ice crystals. Avoid storing them at room temperature for extended periods, as they can spoil quickly.
