How to Store Kiwi So It Lasts 2 Weeks or Longer

Keep Unripe Kiwis at Room Temperature: Let them ripen naturally on the counter, away from direct sunlight.

Separate from Ethylene Producers: Keep them away from bananas, apples, and avocados. These release ethylene gas, which speeds up ripening.

Refrigerate Ripe Kiwis: Once they’re soft and ripe, move them to the fridge to slow further ripening.

Use a Crisper Drawer: Place them in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. It controls moisture better.

Store in a Paper or Plastic Bag: To prevent shriveling, put kiwis in a ventilated bag to retain just enough moisture.

Freeze for Long-Term Storage: Peel and slice ripe kiwis, place on a tray to freeze, then store in freezer bags for up to a year.

Use an Airtight Container: If sliced, keep kiwi in an airtight container in the fridge to avoid drying out.

Check Often: Inspect every few days. Remove any that show signs of spoilage to protect the rest.
