I just got one of those vacuum sealer thingies.

And they really work.
I've frozen some hab halves and it makes quite a neat package.
No loss of color, no ice crystals.

I will definitely seal and freeze habs and other peppers from now on.

I have yet to try it for my fresh refrigerated stuff, but it should allow
keeping them for weeks without molding.

Thanks, Doug.  I have frizzed them before, just threw them in the baggie
first, though, and they are good, but don't have the crunch that a fresh
one does - that's what I'm looking for.  Does frizzing them on the plate
first help in that respect?

On a funny note, I threw one from the freezer in the microwave one time
and tear gassed the DW who is definitely NOT one of us.  If she could
have quit coughing she would have killed me on the spot.
