[CH] chile spoilage?

kids,
Blackened stem and fuzzy calyx, flesh so shrunken the skin is cracked and
saggy. Tasty. And still offered for sale. It's sad to see a store willing to
carry chiles lose them so fast. They look inedible so quickly.
Is there any life extension information that wouldn't be the same as more
common produce? Do they last longer in those shrink-wrapped styro trays or
free air in baskets, etc? How much and/or how affected by ethylene are chiles?
Can't find info; any luck at home with those 'lil green discs in the fridge?
With winter upon us and "fresh" pods already being a week old when they arrive
from some other country, well... it's creepy enough knowing the chemicals they
use to get them here not rotted in the first place.
TIA
