Remove Worms from Bell Peppers: Easy Steps for Safe Cooking
- •Soak cut bell peppers in salt water for 10-15 minutes; worms will float to the surface.
- •Use turmeric (antiseptic) and vinegar (pungent smell) in water to dislodge hidden worms and bacteria.
- •Cut bell peppers lengthwise and thoroughly inspect for black spots, tunnel-like streaks, or foul smell, especially near seeds and stem.
- •After soaking, wash peppers 2-3 times under clean running water to remove residues and any remaining worms.
- •For extra safety, blanch peppers in warm water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer to cold water to destroy worms.
Why It Matters: Ensure safe bell pepper consumption by soaking, inspecting, and thoroughly washing to remove worms.
