If your green chilies repeatedly dry out during the summer, don't worry. We're telling you about some ways to store them, which will keep them fresh for many days. This will eliminate the hassle of going to the market every day to buy green chilies. You should know that due to extreme heat and humidity, green chilies spoil very quickly. Sometimes, they start rotting within just a day or two.

1. Store after removing the stems.
Most people wash green chilies in water, but storing them after removing the stems will keep them fresh for longer. You should know that chili stems contain a lot of moisture, which increases the chance of them spoiling. If you store green chilies after removing the stems, they will stay fresh for about a week.

2. Wash and dry
the green chilies before storing them. Then, dry them thoroughly with a clean cloth or kitchen towel. Note that any remaining moisture will cause the chilies to spoil quickly.

3. Use a paper towel.  
You can keep green chilies fresh for several days by using a paper towel. Before storing green chilies in a container, place a paper towel inside. The paper towel absorbs excess moisture and prevents the chilies from rotting. You can keep green chilies fresh for over a week with this trick. Before storing green chilies in a ziplock bag or container, be sure to place tissue paper on the bottom and top.

4. Store green chilies in the right place.  
To keep chilies fresh for longer, it's important to store them in the right place. Store chilies in the vegetable section of the refrigerator, where the temperature remains constant. Storing chilies in a place that's too cold can cause them to spoil more quickly.

5. Use oil.
You can store green chilies in oil to keep them fresh for a long time. Wash and dry them. Then, make a small incision in the center of the chilies and fill them with mustard oil in a glass bottle. The oil prevents the chilies from spoiling and preserves their flavor.
