Brilio.net - Chili is one of the kitchen ingredients that has a special place in the hearts of many people. From stir-fries, chili sauce, to soup, the spicy taste of chili always succeeds in adding flavor and deliciousness to dishes. Because of its versatile nature, many people choose to stock up on chili in large quantities so that it is ready to be used at any time.
Unfortunately, chili is a food ingredient that is easily damaged if not stored properly. In a matter of days, fresh chili can start to wilt, become moldy, or even rot. This is certainly very detrimental, especially if you have bought a large amount but have not had time to use it.
This problem often makes people look for various ways to extend the freshness of chilies. From storing them in the refrigerator to trying simple preservation techniques, keeping chilies fresh for longer can be a challenge. In some cases, some people even choose to store chilies with a mixture of peeled garlic.
In addition to garlic, there are other ways to store chilies. An Instagram user @ummubalqishaura once revealed it further through one of the videos she uploaded. She admitted that she only relies on one type of leaf to make chilies last longer for up to 2 weeks.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @ummubalqishaura on Tuesday (28/1), the type of leaf in question is banana leaves. So, just prepare fresh chilies that have been picked from the stems. Make sure there are no rotten or blackened chilies because they can contaminate other chilies that are still good.

After that, prepare some banana leaves that have been wiped clean. If so, arrange the banana leaves and place the chili in the middle. Then close and wrap the chili until it is really tight. If necessary, tie it with a rope and put it in an airtight container.

Well, these packaged chilies can be directly placed in the refrigerator (chiller). Chilies stored in this condition tend to last longer because they are not easily damp or even dry. Therefore, chilies will remain of good quality for up to 2 weeks. Well, if stored at room temperature, these chilies can also last for 5-7 days, you know.
