How to store kiwifruit at room temperature

Hard, unripe kiwifruit can be stored at room temperature. First, wrap each kiwifruit individually with paper towels. Then place them in a plastic bag and poke a few holes in the bag. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place until ripe and ready to enjoy.

How to soften hard kiwifruit?

Simply wrap the kiwifruit in a plastic bag with an apple. The ethylene produced by the apple will accelerate the ripening of the kiwifruit, softening its texture.

How to store kiwifruit in the refrigerator

Ripe kiwifruit should not be stored at room temperature to prevent overripening. Refrigerate. Wrap each kiwi fruit individually with paper towels. Place all the fruit in a plastic bag or ziplock bag. The bag doesn’t need to be pierced; just place it in the fruit and vegetable section of the refrigerator. It will keep fresh for about a week.

If the kiwi fruit has already been cut, wrap it individually in plastic wrap or a small plastic bag (do not use paper towels). Place it in a ziplock bag and refrigerate. Consume as soon as possible.

Freezing Kiwi Fruit

Wash and peel the kiwi fruit. Slice or dice as desired. Divide the fruit into portions and wrap them in freezer-safe plastic wrap or a small plastic bag. Place all the portions in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer.

*Kiwi fruit will not taste as good after being frozen. It is recommended to eat them when they are partially thawed. Alternatively, use them in juice, popsicles, jam, etc. without thawing.
