Kiwi fruit is very hard. How to ripen it? Ripening kiwi fruit method and skills

Kiwi fruit is known as the king of vitamin C. It is a sweet and sour special fruit. However, friends who have bought kiwi fruit know that most of the newly bought kiwi fruit are relatively hard and do not taste good when eaten directly. They need to be ripened. But how should kiwi fruit be ripened? How can kiwi fruit be softened? Let me tell you in detail.

How to ripen kiwi fruit when it is very hard

1. Use apples to ripen kiwifruit

If you want to soften hard kiwifruit quickly, the best way is to use apples to ripen it. Apple is a naturally ripening fruit. When it is stored, it will release a certain amount of ethylene. After this substance is absorbed by kiwifruit, it will accelerate the ripening of kiwifruit and make it soft. The specific method is to put three or four apples and five or six kiwifruit in a fresh-keeping bag, then 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 warn 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.
