Kiwi fruit must be cooked before consumption, otherwise not only are some substances harmful to human health, but the astringent taste is also very unpleasant. How can kiwifruit ripen quickly? Below, I will show you several methods for quickly ripening kiwifruit.
Method 1: Temperature ripening. We can put kiwifruit in the refrigerator for refrigeration or at room temperature. Please note that if taken out of the refrigerator, the kiwifruit should be allowed to warm up at room temperature first. Under the catalysis of temperature, the pectin of kiwifruit will gradually decompose and the flesh will become soft.
Method 2: Ethylene ripening. Ethylene is a natural ripening agent commonly found in plant tissues. We can store kiwifruit together with other ripe fruits such as bananas, apples, etc. These ripe fruits release ethylene, which promotes the rapid maturation of kiwifruit.
Method 3: Ethephrine ripening. As an artificially synthesized ripening agent, ethephon is widely used in agriculture. However, due to its potential adverse effects on the human body, it is recommended to use it with caution. If you choose to use ethylene, you can spray the diluted ethylene solution on the surface of kiwifruit and let it mature at room temperature.
What should be noted in the process of ripening kiwifruit? Firstly, we should avoid over ripening kiwifruit. Overripe kiwifruit often has a soft taste and loses its original flavor. In addition, if using ethylene to induce ripening, it is important to pay attention to the safe concentration and method of use to avoid harm to the human body.
Regardless of the ripening method used, kiwifruit should be selected with moderate softness, hardness, and no damage. During the ripening process, the maturity of kiwifruit should be regularly checked for a better eating experience.
