How to ripen kiwifruit? Quick and easy tips to teach you

Kiwifruit is a common fruit in daily life, rich in nutrients, with a rich sweet and sour taste, and is one of many people's favorite fruits. Eating more kiwifruit is good for your health. But many of the kiwifruits you buy are unripe. Let's take a look below at the quick and easy little tips for ripening kiwifruit.

1. How to ripen kiwifruit?

1. Ripen with a toothpick

If the kiwifruit is still very firm and unripe, you can use a toothpick to ripen it. First, poke a few small holes in the kiwifruit with a toothpick. This helps promote the release of gases from the kiwifruit and makes it ripen faster. However, note that you need to wrap the poked kiwifruit in plastic wrap to prevent bacteria from growing, then seal it in a plastic bag, and it will be ripe in one to two days.

2. Ripen with fruit

Kiwifruit can be ripened with other fruits. You can put kiwifruit together with ripe apples, bananas and other fruits in a plastic bag, which can speed up the ripening of the kiwifruit. If you don't have apples at home, you can use pears to ripen them, especially wild Ya pears. Kiwifruit ripened with wild Ya pears is fragrant and delicious, very tasty. The fruit-ripening method is the most commonly used and best method, and friends who are interested can give it a try.

2. Ripen with rice

Rice is a food found in every household. If you don't have ripe fruit or toothpicks at home, you can use rice to ripen them. You just need to place the kiwifruit in rice and wait one to two days, and the kiwifruit will be ripe. This can speed up the release of ethylene, thereby playing a role in ripening.

4. Ripen by raising the ambient temperature

You can place the kiwifruit in a relatively warm environment. The higher the temperature, the faster the fruit's metabolism, and the faster it ripens. If the kiwifruit is relatively unripe, it is best not to put it in the refrigerator; you can leave it at room temperature. But note that kiwifruit left at room temperature is more prone to growing bacteria, so you need to pay attention to avoid rot and spoilage.

2. How to store kiwifruit?

1. Refrigerator storage: Put the kiwifruit in the refrigerator at about 1-5 degrees, and it can be stored for about one month. If you want to eat it, you can take it out a few days in advance to ripen.

2. Store in a cool place: Place the kiwifruit in a cool place, and you can put it in a box or plastic bag, but note that it must not be completely sealed, otherwise it will develop a rotten smell. However, do not put it in a ventilated place either, as this will cause water loss.
