Pepper rinsing

[YAMracer754]

Should hot peppers and regular peppers (as well as other typical veggies growing in our gardens) be rinsed/dried prior to fridge or countertop storage, and then processed or is it best to leave them in their picked state up until the point of usage or processing? Seems debatable as I know lots of stuff like squash and okra it's recommended to wait to rinse them until using (aside from obvious dirt and stuff etc that's obvious). Just trying to do this right!

I generally rinse mine real quick right before use... Mostly just so I can be sure I wondered them at all lol

I might rince if they get muddy. Other wise, I don't use anything on them I wouldn't eat so, I usually don't.

I felt that way but I know bugs take shits all over my garden. Birds, too. Sometimes there's like spider webs on the pods, as well.

I rinse.

I wash my produce just before using them. If you wash then store it's most likely going to rot faster.

I rinse in cold water as soon as possible after picking, then let them air dry before doing anything else.
