Love Kiwi? Here’s How to Keep It Fresh for 14 Days or More
Buy Firm KiwisChoose kiwis that are firm to the touch. They ripen over time, so firmer ones give you more storage days.
Keep Unripe Kiwis at Room TemperatureLet unripe kiwis sit on the counter until slightly soft to the touch. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent over-ripening.
Refrigerate Once RipeAs soon as your kiwi ripens, place it in the refrigerator. This halts the ripening process and helps it last longer.
Use the Crisper DrawerStore 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 ReadyWhole kiwis last longer than sliced ones. Only cut when you're ready to eat.
Wrap Cut KiwiIf you must store cut kiwi, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or use an airtight container in the fridge.
Don’t Store Near Ethylene-ProducersKeep away from apples, bananas, or tomatoes unless ripening is desired.
