The method of ripening kiwi fruit is as follows:
1. Use apples to ripen kiwi fruit
You can pack a few apples together with the harder kiwi fruit you bought. Put it in a paper bag, tie it, and leave it for two or three days to make the kiwi fruit soft. This is the use of ethylene, a gas emitted by apples, to promote ripening.
Not only apples can ripen kiwis, but other fruits, such as bananas, pears, vegetables, tomatoes, etc., can also ripen kiwis, but remember not to leave them for too long, as they will make the kiwis rotten. of.
2. Use toothpicks to ripen kiwi fruit
That is, wash the purchased kiwi fruit with water first, then use a clean toothpick to poke a few small holes in the kiwi fruit, and then put it into plastic Put it in a bag and tie it up and leave it for a few days, which will speed up the ripening process. You can also use a knife to make a few small slits on the outside of the kiwi fruit, which can also ripen the kiwi fruit. This is because small wounds can cause kiwi fruits to produce ethylene, and ethylene can speed up the ripening of kiwi fruits.
3. Sealed Ripening
A new method for rapid ripening of kiwi fruits in large quantities. First, put the kiwi hard fruits into cardboard boxes to form fruit boxes; then put the fruit boxes indoors Stack and close indoor doors and windows to keep warm; then control the indoor humidity at 80-90% and the temperature at 20-30°C; open the fruit boxes every 2-3 days to release the carbon dioxide in the fruit boxes and allow oxygen Enter the fruit box.
Turn over the stacks at the same time, stack the fruit boxes inside the stack outside the stack, and stack the fruit boxes outside the stack inside the stack; the kiwi hard fruit can be fully ripened in 5-8 days and achieve the best flavor. After the kiwi fruit is ripened, open the fruit box immediately, open the indoor doors and windows to cool down and ventilate, and reduce the ethylene gas content produced by the kiwi fruit during the ripening process. Store the ripened fruit at 20°C for 3-4 days. , stored at 0-5℃ for one week.
