I keep diced dehy peppers for when I need only a small quantity or for
the times I don't have any or what I have has spoiled... also since
they're already diced they are very handy for many cooked dishes.

Carrots and celery too... and I always have potatoes. I don't
normally keep bell peppers as a staple, I buy them as needed because
they don't have a long shelf life... I also grow my own but can't
count on the weather cooperating... dehys are very handy.
