Tips for Rapid Ripening of Kiwi Fruit

1. Sealed high temperature ripening kiwi fruit

The higher the temperature, the more active the metabolism of kiwifruit is, and the faster it ripens. You can seal the kiwifruit and then store it in a high temperature environment to ripen it quickly. The specific method is to put the not-so-ripe kiwifruit you bought in a sealable plastic bag, squeeze out the air in the plastic bag, seal the mouth, and put the plastic bag containing kiwifruit in a heater or high temperature environment. After 3 to 5 days, the kiwifruit will be fully ripe.

2. Increase ethylene concentration to ripen kiwifruit

Many people think that increasing the ethylene concentration means spraying ethephon on kiwifruit, and that ripening kiwifruit in this way is harmful to the body. In fact, increasing the ethylene concentration to ripen kiwifruit does not necessarily mean using drugs. It is also possible to put unripe kiwifruit and fully ripe apples, bananas, pears and other fruits in the same plastic bag and seal them. These ripe fruits will produce a certain amount of ethylene during the storage process, and the unripe kiwifruit can quickly ripen after absorbing this ethylene.
