How to make raw kiwi fruit ripen quickly

For people in the north, the kiwis they usually buy may be relatively hard. After all, kiwis are shipped from the south. If they are too ripe, they will rot easily. At this time, the kiwis we buy are relatively hard and do not taste good. So you can store them for a while to allow the kiwis to ripen naturally. If you are in a hurry, you can put the kiwis in a place with higher temperature, or put them together with apples, which can increase the effect of the kiwis to ripen quickly.

How to ripen kiwi fruit when it is very hard

1. Use apples to ripen kiwis

If you want to make very hard kiwi fruit soften quickly, the best way is to use apples to ripen it. Apple is a naturally ripening fruit. It releases a certain amount of ethylene when stored. After this substance is absorbed by kiwi fruit, it will accelerate the ripening of kiwi fruit and make it soften. The specific method is to put three or four apples and five or six kiwis in a plastic bag, seal it, put it in a warm place, and take it out after three days.

2. Use drugs to ripen kiwifruit

Using drugs to ripen kiwifruit can also make it soften quickly. Ethylene is a common drug used to ripen kiwifruit. You should add the drug to clean water, dilute it, and then spray it directly on the surface of the kiwifruit. After spraying, cover the kiwifruit with a quilt. After one or two days, you will find that the originally hard kiwifruit has become soft.

3. Don’t eat hard kiwi fruit

Some people in life are afraid that ripening kiwis is too troublesome and want to eat them directly. Here I want to remind everyone that hard and unripe kiwis cannot be eaten. Not only do they taste astringent, they can also damage the mucous membrane in the human mouth and the protein in the food, causing some uncomfortable symptoms to the human body and are particularly detrimental to maintaining good health.

Is it better to eat kiwi fruit hard or soft?

Hard kiwifruit has high nutritional value. From the perspective of food nutritional value, kiwi fruit has a high vitamin C content when it is hard. Eating it at this time can intake a large amount of vitamin C, but the taste is not very good.

Soft kiwifruit causes less damage. Kiwifruit contains a lot of plant acid, especially hard and unripe kiwifruit, which tastes extremely sour. Eating this kind of kiwifruit will irritate the gastrointestinal tract and damage gastrointestinal function. People with poor gastrointestinal function are recommended to eat soft kiwifruit, which contains a certain amount of sugar that can slow down the stimulation of plant acid.
