Fellow CH'ers

  A recent thread has been on the best way to store fresh peppers.  I found
an article in the Sunday local paper about a new treatment for preserving
the freshness of vegetables.  The treatment is with a jasmine and
honeysuckle extract- methyl jasmonate.  Reduced chill injury and doubled
the shelf life of zucchini, sweet peppers (can't see what would be so
different about a chile...) and grapefruit.  Also tended to act as an
antibotic, as the article says it delayed grey mold.
  The author is the local "extension agent" from State U. who writes an
article every Sunday.  He says you can e-mail him for more information at
