Thank you! It seems I never have bell peppers when I need them or want them. Bought 3 dozen of them tonight, and going to vacuum seal them, just as you did!

Hi, Jilly: Enjoyed your video. I also freeze my cut up bells before vacuum sealing. We enjoy them all year. Your video had clear instructions that are easy to follow. Just subscribed, and I am looking forward to watching you garden and preserve the best food in the world - the food you grow yourself. Greetings from Central Texas!

[laurenbohannan]

What is the reason for the flash freezing? And can you use regular freezer bags if you dont have a vacuum sealer?

[mikesfarmmikesfarm]

i thought most all peppers are red when mature ? You can save seeds from green bell peppers ?

[EddieMunozep]

New kid has a question

Wash clean, cut to desired size.
Then freeze for how long before vaccum sealing.
Is this the correct method??

Seem like your bags has divider down middle ? Where did u purchase them?

[scrapironfish]

I would expect them to come out fresh the day I bought them. However, they come out of my vacuum bags kinda soggy. Any ideas as to why?

[workinghand]

Great video! I looked for those bags at Walmart, but could not find them. Could you please provide the exact name of those bags, Bless you.

Where did you purchased your vacuum bags?

[jamesbarron]

Will they get soggy in freezer bags if you get out as much air as possible

[nicoleturner]

[thelazynortherngardener]

Would you say that each small bag equals one bell pepper?
