Sweet bell peppers are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their crispness and flavor. Place them in a crisper drawer or a plastic bag; avoid sealing it completely to allow for some air circulation, which will prevent moisture buildup. Stored properly, they can last for 1-2 weeks. Avoid washing them before storing, as moisture can accelerate spoilage. You can also freeze bell peppers after slicing and blanching them briefly; frozen peppers are best used in cooked dishes as their texture will change.
