How to preserve chili peppers for several months, still fresh as if just picked, plump flesh without drying out, without losing flavor..

Chili is a common spice used in family meals, but many people buy chili and do not know how to preserve it, so the chili will be spoiled or rotten. Here are tips to preserve fresh chili to keep it juicy as if it was just picked. There are many types of chili such as chili pepper, bell pepper, green chili, horn chili… Many housewives are interested in preserving fresh chili. Putting chili in the refrigerator will cause the chili to spoil quickly or become rotten. Chili peppers will lose their flavor when added to dishes, and rotten chili peppers will not be usable.

To keep chili peppers fresh, apply the following method:

Choose chili peppers: Choose fresh chili peppers, bright color, smooth and firm. Also green and thick chili peppers. When you pick them up, they should be firm and juicy, not flattened or dented. These are newly picked chili peppers.

Steps to preserve fresh chili with cooking oil and plastic bottles

Step 1: Drain the chili from the outer skin: When you buy chili, you put it on a basket, rack, or tray so that the chili does not get wet on the outer skin. When wet, the chili will quickly rot. Discard the wilted ones. Avoid bruised ones.

Step 2: Remove part of the stem: Remove the wilted chili, use scissors to cut the stem short if the stem is long. You only leave the stem close to the tip of the fruit. If you leave the chili peppers long, they will rub against each other, causing scratches and making the chili spoil faster. However, you should not unscrew the knob because the tip of the chili will quickly spoil, allowing bacteria to enter the chili.

Step 3: Put the chili peppers in a plastic bottle: Add enough cooking oil to cover the surface of the chili peppers. Then put the chili peppers in used plastic bottles, such as mineral water bottles, used filtered water bottles, washed and left to dry. Then you close the lid tightly and put these chili bottles in the refrigerator, the chili will be fresh for half a year without losing water, spoiling or rotting. The plastic bottle helps keep the chili from evaporating. The layer of cooking oil creates a protective film to keep the water in the chili pulp. You can leave it in the refrigerator for 1-2 months without fear of spoiling or rotting.

Preserving chili in the refrigerator

Step 1: Pick the chili: Remove the rotten chili, then let them not affect the other chili peppers.

Step 2: Remove the chili stem: You pluck off the chili stem to save space when storing. With the method of preserving in the freezer, you can pluck off the stem of the chili. Then you wash it clean and let the chili drain

Step 3: Put the chili in a specialized plastic zip bag: You put the chili in a specialized food storage plastic bag or storage box. Then put it in the refrigerator. With this method, the chili will stay plump all year long without being mushy. When you take it out, the chili will turn into ice. Use a knife or scissors to cut it and drop it directly into the dipping sauce bowl or dishes so that they will not be mushy and watery.

If you leave the chili in the refrigerator, it will rot because it is wet or will absorb all the water, creating dry chili. When added to sauces or dishes, the chili will be fragrant and have a different flavor than fresh chili.

THEY TOLD US HE DIED IN THE LINE OF DUTY—BUT HIS DOG KNEW BETTER Nobody could get Rex to move. He stood like a statue at the casket, paw resting on the edge, nose pressed to the wood like he was waiting for a signal. One last command. Something to explain why the voice he knew better than his own heartbeat had suddenly gone silent. Officer Grant was the best handler on the force. Everybody said so. Clean record, sharp instincts, calm under pressure. And he loved that dog like it was family. No—more than family. So when they said it was a “routine traffic stop gone bad,” none of us questioned it. Not out loud, anyway. But Rex didn’t believe it. You could see it in the way he sniffed the edges of the casket, searching—not for closure, but for proof. For something that made sense. I was standing a few rows back when the dog did something strange. He stepped back. Looked directly at the guy holding his leash. Then growled. Low. Quiet. But unmistakable. The leash officer froze. You don’t ignore a K9 when it reacts like that. And then, as the priest kept speaking, I saw what Rex saw. A patch of tan fabric stuck to the sole of a man’s shoe. Right in the front row. Civilian clothes. No badge. No tears. Just watching like he was waiting for it to be over. Rex growled again. And this time, I saw the patch too. It had a bloodstain. And three letters barely visible under the smear: “IA—” ⬇️ (continue reading in the first cᴑmment)

HE BUYS HER THE SAME ROSES EVERY WEEK—EVEN THOUGH SHE DOESN’T REMEMBER WHY We saw him every Thursday around 3pm. Same motorized cart. Same yellow JEGS hat. And always—always—the same bouquet of red roses in the basket. He’d roll straight past the deli, turn into the floral section, pick the fullest bunch, and sniff them like it still meant something. My coworker Kira asked him once, “Special occasion today?” He just smiled and said, “Not today. Just Thursday.” That week, I decided to follow him out—just curious. He loaded his groceries into a beige sedan with shaky hands. Took his time, wiped the dashboard like it mattered, then opened the passenger door. That’s when I saw her. She looked elegant even in a worn cardigan. Gray hair pulled back with a velvet ribbon. Eyes wide and blank, like she was somewhere else entirely. He handed her the roses without a word. She looked at them like she’d never seen a flower before. Then smiled. “Are these from the man who used to bring me flowers?” she asked. He paused for half a second. Then nodded. “Yeah, sweetheart. Every Thursday.” He kissed her forehead and helped her buckle in. I stood there watching like a fool, heart in my throat. And I couldn’t stop thinking about how much it must hurt—being remembered as a stranger by the person who once knew everything about you. But the next week? He came back. Same time. Same hat. Same roses. Only this time, he grabbed a second bouquet too. And tucked a note into that one. I saw it slip out as he turned the cart—folded, handwritten, with just three words showing: “In case she…”⬇️

HE RETURNED HER TRASH CAN EVERY WEEK—BUT TODAY, SOMETHING WAS DIFFERENT It was just another morning. Another trash pickup. But then I saw him—the same sanitation worker I’d noticed before. He didn’t just empty the can and leave. He carefully wheeled it all the way back to the side door of the small brick house, just like he always did. No rush. No hesitation. Just quiet kindness. Curious, I approached the elderly woman sitting on her porch. She smiled softly. “That man? He’s been doing that for me every week,” she said. “Since my husband passed, I can’t bring it back myself.” I glanced back at him, feeling something heavy settle in my chest. But then I noticed… he wasn’t heading back to the truck right away. He just stood there, staring at the house. Something was wrong. And the moment I realized why—my stomach dropped.⬇️ (continue reading in the first cᴑmment)

I ADOPTED A 4-YEAR-OLD BOY—ALL SEEMED PERFECT UNTIL HE SHOWED ME HIS DRAWING I always dreamed of having kids, but life didn’t go the way I planned. After years of hoping and waiting, I realized maybe my path was meant to be different. That’s when I met Joey, a little boy who needed a home just as much as I needed him. From the moment he reached for my hand, I knew I was finally a mom. A week after Joey moved in, I planned his FIRST REAL BIRTHDAY. I wanted it to feel special—balloons, pancakes, presents carefully picked out just for him. We laughed in the kitchen, making a total mess, and for a moment, I thought he finally felt safe. But when he opened his gift, his smile faded. By the time we sat down with the cake, HE WASN’T EVEN LOOKING AT ME! Just staring at the candle like it wasn’t real… I nudged the plate toward him, waiting for that little spark of joy. Instead, he looked up, eyes full of something I couldn’t place. And that’s when he said it, quiet but sharp enough to break me: “My birthday was YESTERDAY.” “But… the documents say it’s today,” I whispered. “They made a MISTAKE. It’s my brother’s…” he answered. My heart stopped. “Wait. Your BROTHER??” He was silent for a moment, then finally added, “YOU HAVE TO SEE SOMETHING.” Then, he reached under his pillow and pulled out a small wooden box. He opened it and took out a folded piece of paper, handing it to me. I looked at it… and oh my God! ⬇
