      When choosing hot peppers, look at their small bodies. If they are wide and fat, have a blunt tip, are large and relatively yellow in color, they will not taste spicy.

      On the contrary, hot peppers with long, narrow bodies, sharp tips and relatively dark green color are hotter. It is best to wear rubber gloves when removing the seeds of this kind of hot peppers, otherwise it will be hot and uncomfortable on your hands. If your hands are burnt by chili peppers, washing them with vinegar can relieve the pain.

      In addition, when buying hot peppers, hot peppers and green peppers, choose ones with bright, firm surfaces and no cracks (otherwise they will easily rot during storage).

      The most important thing is to pinch the pedicle. If it is very wilted, it means it has been left for a few days and is no longer fresh. It will not last long after you buy it home.
