How to preserve kiwifruit how to peel kiwifruit

Kiwifruit is a kind of fruit that everyone likes very much, which is rich in vitamin C and often has the effect of whitening and toning, so it is loved by everyone. But the kiwifruit we sometimes buy from the market is relatively hard, so it is not suitable to eat directly, because the taste will be sour. We can make these kiwifruit eat as soon as possible through the method of ripening. How can kiwifruit be ripe? Let's get to know it.

[how to accelerate the ripening of kiwifruit]

Method one. Increase the ambient temperature of fruit storage (the higher the storage ambient temperature of kiwifruit, the more active the metabolism of kiwifruit, the faster the ripening)

1. First of all, prepare a plastic bag, a general one is fine, and the size is determined according to the number of kiwifruit you want to ripen.

2. Put the kiwifruit you want to ripen on the table.

3. Put the kiwifruit you want to ripen into a prepared plastic bag.

4. Then seal the mouth of the plastic bag and tie your ears casually.

5. Then put the sealed plastic bags and kiwifruit in a hotter place, such as on the windowsill, near the heating, or in the kitchen.

Method two. Increase ethylene concentration and promote fruit ripening

Put the fresh kiwifruit in a plastic bag, mix the cut pears or apples with the bag, then seal the mouth of the bag for 3 to 5 days, and then cook and eat. Generally put a cut pear or apple per kilogram of kiwifruit. The more pears or apples are loaded, the better the ripening effect. After ripening, if the fruit has become soft, it can be peeled and eaten. It can be eaten with cut skin which still can not be peeled. Because these fruits can emit the natural ripening gas "ethylene", it can promote kiwifruit to soften and sweeten quickly.

Experts warn that kiwifruit is very sensitive to ethylene, especially to ethylene in the environment. As long as the concentration of ethylene in the environment is higher, the faster it ripens. Therefore, at present, many vendors often use ethylene gas or ethylene to promote fruit ripening, so as to effectively improve the market time of kiwifruit. The general kiwifruit is soaked in 1000 mg / kg kiwifruit with ethephon for 2 minutes at room temperature and can be on the market after two weeks. However, some untreated ones did not reach the edible state until 1 month later.

Therefore, some people who can't wait to eat kiwifruit might as well use this method to ripen kiwifruit, but the dosage must be controlled when using it, otherwise it is likely to harm human health.

Method three use toothpicks to ripen kiwifruit (not recommended)

That is, wash the kiwifruit with water, then use a clean toothpick to make a few small holes in the kiwifruit, then put it in a plastic bag, tie it up and place it for a few days, which will speed up the ripening process. You can also use a knife to make a few small cuts on the outside of kiwifruit, which can also play a role in ripening kiwifruit. This is because small wounds can make kiwifruit produce ethylene, which can speed up kiwifruit ripening. In addition, small wounds will make life active, which will also speed up the ripening of kiwifruit.

Although this method is good, in the process of ripening with toothpicks, the gaseous ethylene produced by the fruit is not harmful to the human body, but some microbes will breed near the 'wound', and these microorganisms are easy to make the fruit spoilage, so it is not recommended that you use this method to ripen the fruit.

[how to preserve kiwifruit]

Kiwifruit is more resistant to storage, but the preservation of kiwifruit should also pay attention to methods, otherwise wrong preservation will make kiwifruit not fresh. Kiwifruit can be kept in the refrigerator or in a cool place.

1, refrigerator preservation: raw kiwifruit in the refrigerator (1-5 degrees) can be preserved for a month or so, to eat a few days in advance to take out to promote ripening. Kiwifruit can be eaten together with ripe bananas and apples and can be eaten after softening.

2. Keep it in the shade: after buying kiwifruit, you should put it in the shade. It is best not to completely seal the kiwifruit in a box or bag (if it is completely sealed, there will be a bad smell of wine when it is opened next time). It is best not to put kiwifruit in a ventilated place, so that it is easy to lose moisture in its content, making the hard ones harder and the soft ones dehydrated.

Matters needing attention for preservation of kiwifruit: refrigerated, protected from light and packed in boxes are all effective ways to increase the preservation time of kiwifruit. In addition, it should be noted that careful selection in the early stage can also increase the preservation time. In the preservation, we should first pick out the soft, damaged kiwifruit, otherwise these kiwifruit will emit "ethylene" and "accelerate ripening" to other kiwifruit, which is not conducive to long-term preservation.

[how to peel kiwifruit]

1. If the kiwifruit you buy feels harder, it is convenient to peel it. You only need the fruit to peel off its skin like an apple. But the kiwifruit that feels hard is not fully ripe and does not taste good to eat.

2. When eating kiwifruit, if it is fully ripe and people feel that it is relatively soft when they touch it, two tools will be used for peeling, one is a fruit knife and the other is a small spoon. When peeling, you can use a fruit knife to cut off both ends of the kiwifruit, and then dig the spoon along the kiwifruit peel to remove the peel completely.
