Love Kiwi? Here’s How to Keep It Fresh for 14 Days or More

Buy Firm Kiwis Choose kiwis that are firm to the touch. They ripen over time, so firmer ones give you more storage days.

Keep Unripe Kiwis at Room Temperature Let unripe kiwis sit on the counter until slightly soft to the touch. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent over-ripening.

Refrigerate Once Ripe As soon as your kiwi ripens, place it in the refrigerator. This halts the ripening process and helps it last longer.

Use the Crisper Drawer Store ripe kiwis in your fridge’s crisper drawer for better humidity control and airflow.

Store in a Paper Bag (for Ripening Only) If you want to speed up ripening, place kiwi in a paper bag with an apple or banana. Remove it once it softens.

Avoid Cutting Until Ready Whole kiwis last longer than sliced ones. Only cut when you're ready to eat.

Wrap Cut Kiwi If you must store cut kiwi, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or use an airtight container in the fridge.

Don’t Store Near Ethylene-Producers Keep away from apples, bananas, or tomatoes unless ripening is desired.
