In the fall and winter seasons, kiwifruit is on the market, and many people like to buy it to eat. The taste is sweet and sour, rich in nutrients, vitamin C, trace elements and other nutrients are very good. So what is the situation of the kiwifruit is very soft? Will it have become rotten? Don't worry, it may also be caused by too ripe.
The kiwi is very soft is not rotten
This depends on the specific situation.
If the whole kiwifruit is soft, it may be too ripe. This type of kiwifruit is edible and needs to be consumed as soon as possible. If it becomes soft in parts, or if it has an inner or hard core, it may be on the verge of going bad or spoiling. Although the softening of kiwifruit is a basis for judging good or bad, it should not be used as the only means of judgment. It needs to be judged on its appearance, color, smell and taste, and it is recommended that the fruit should be eaten fresh to ensure its nutritional value.
How soft is kiwifruitKiwifruit is best when it is slightly soft. If the kiwifruit is slightly but not particularly soft, it means that the kiwifruit is just right for the fire and will taste delicious. You can gently pinch the area near the ends with your hand. If it no longer feels hard and the pressed out area is slightly deformed, but not very soft, it means it is ripe and ready to eat. A new kiwifruit is harder and not yet fully ripe. You can store it with fully ripe apples for about two days and the kiwi will be ready to eat when it softens. Note that the shelf life of softened kiwifruit is relatively short, so eat it as soon as possible to avoid the kiwifruit from spoiling.
How long to soften kiwifruitIf it's a particularly raw, unripe kiwifruit, it will take half a month or more to soften at room temperature without ripening. If you seal it in a box or plastic bag and ripen it with a banana or apple, it will soften in about two to three days. Here's how: take a small amount of kiwi, place ripe apples and bananas in a sealed plastic bag, and then let it sit in the greenhouse for three to five days. After three to five days, you can press the kiwifruit. Take it out quickly if it feels soft, or if it's not too soft, let it sit for another day or two.
