If it yields slightly, it’s ripe. Firm ones are not ready yet.

Separate Ripe from Unripe: Store unripe kiwis at room temperature. Once ripe, shift them to the fridge.

[{"selector":"#anim-c116bc4f-62fa-45b3-89c0-aa44c8e8a3fd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-be680629-b253-4629-b20c-174514daf1ed [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(7.812499744007886%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Use a Paper Bag: To speed up ripening, place firm kiwis in a paper bag with an apple or banana.

[{"selector":"#anim-b6a71379-196b-444d-98cc-48be74b5338c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cf73c429-c366-4237-97fc-2541d616ec38","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-120.47782%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cd1d56ba-a9e7-41db-bb9d-830f0fe4cfbd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(14.239130389890889%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Refrigerate Ripe Kiwis: Once they’re ripe, keep them in the fridge to slow down spoilage. They’ll last up to 2 weeks.

[{"selector":"#anim-a544fcea-9769-469b-a119-8e1c195b4a98","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-b4b44db2-4e91-41ae-bfd3-ba1a9dba93b5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-20.703124972947688%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Avoid Plastic Bags: Plastic traps moisture and causes mold. Use breathable containers or perforated produce bags.

[{"selector":"#anim-fd713ce5-4e6b-43e8-aea9-b1617359966f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.95122%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1590cfde-d39a-4866-a931-570fd5420bd6","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cf640718-bf4b-4b5d-84f2-e48bf62c85f7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Use a Crisper Drawer: Store kiwis in your fridge’s crisper drawer to maintain ideal humidity levels.

[{"selector":"#anim-f88a77fb-bb78-4d2e-ae71-b7ab575525e4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(125.64102%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-99a190f6-f3b3-40ec-9bb4-1618b8df9e1a","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cb2d35f4-5272-410d-b047-d5fe93b93007 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(14.843749786673241%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Don’t Wash Before Storing: Wash kiwi only before eating to avoid introducing extra moisture.

[{"selector":"#anim-7e940c5e-0dcc-4f9e-8941-fb48c1261241","keyframes":{"transform":["rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","none"],"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-db2b8c62-b0ae-48da-ad1e-2275aceef0bf [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Freeze for Long-Term Storage: Peel and slice kiwis, then freeze for smoothies or desserts.

[{"selector":"#anim-92805c18-2700-46bc-b0cd-afd4a7ae060e","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4e500118-adec-42a4-bf05-d3cddb56eebd","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a247e9f0-8cf7-4001-aae9-6449a219a2b1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.812499744007886%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]
