POBLANO PEPPER*

Selection

• The poblano pepper is firm with shiny, uniform green skin and with no signs of blemish and shriveling.
• Dry lines or striations across the skin indicate a hotter pepper. These lines are not an indication of poor quality.

Storage

• Poblano pepper should be stored at 45°F - 55°F (7°C - 13°C) with a relative humidity of ninety to ninety-five percent and no mist.
• The typical shelf life is two to three weeks. Shelf life can be extended by another week by packaging in moisture-retentive films under optimal storage temperature. Storage temperature above 55°F (13°C) will accelerate ripening and bacterial soft rot.
• The poblano pepper is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Poblano pepper should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life and avoid softening and discoloration. Poblano pepper produces a very low level of ethylene.
• The poblano pepper is sensitive to chilling injury at storage below 45°F (7°c). Symptoms include surface pitting, water-soaked areas, decay, and discoloration of the seed cavity.
