✓Is it easy to find pepper in supermarkets in your country? What's the price on Steem?

Here in my country, It is easy to find pepper in supermarkets, local market, stores and mini- mart. We also plant pepper in our garden and share it to our family members and neighbours. From this you can see that pepper is available, affordable and accessible in my country. We often use pepper in two way Fresh pepper and dry pepper.

We can buy fresh pepper (15 to 20 seed depending on the size) at the rate of #500 Naira approximately 2.2 steem.

One cup of Dried pepper is about 2.3 steem which is ₦550 Naira. A small sachet of dried pepper can be seen at rate of #100 which is 0.5 steem. It is very cheap and affordable.

Do you have any special way of storing pepper to preserve its properties?

Anytime I buy pepper at the market, they sell it in a small bag. As soon as I get home, I use to empty the bag into a glass container. And store it. I store all my spices in glass containers with lids. I always put a small spoon inside, so that I will not mistakenly use a wet spoon and scup it.

Secondly, I stored fresh pepper:in a refrigerator, I always avoid washing it as such I put in a sieve and store in your fridge like that the moisture and the freshness will be maintained, till I removed and use it.
