How to Store Kiwis

How to keep this fuzzy fruit fresh.

Known for their fuzzy skin, soft texture and sweet, refreshing flavor, kiwifruit (or, more familiarly, “kiwis”) are a delightful addition to any fruit salad or fruit tart. Keep your kiwis fresh with these helpful storing tips.

Ripening kiwis:
Place unripe kiwis in a paper bag with an apple, pear or banana at room temperature for a few days. These fruits give off ethylene gas, which causes ripening.

Storing in the refrigerator:
Keep either ripe or unripe kiwis in the refrigerator for storage or more gradual ripening. Refrigerate for no longer than 1-2 weeks.

Keep kiwis away from other fruits after they’re ripe, otherwise they’ll overripen quickly.
