How to store Kiwi so it don't go bad.

kiwi - they are high in vitamin C and potassium. If you eat them with the skin on you get more water in them. There so sweet and healthy for anyone to eat. You may even forget you eating fruit.

store ripen kiwi at room temperature for only 3 to 5 days. You can store them longer in the refrigerator for 7 days. If that is not long enough for you to store them, Put them in a zip lock plastic bag in refrigerator and they will be good for 2 weeks. If you put kiwi near apples, bananas or pears you speed up the ripening process. So if you want your kiwi to ripen within a day or two put your kiwi in a bag with these fruit in the refrigerator.

Fruit Bowl - Bowl with several types of fruits
Thanks lizzy, this is very useful information. I live alone and one of the problems when buying kiwis is that the go awry very fast. And apples and bananas are the other fruits that I buy more often and put them all in the same fruit bowl. Wish I knew this sooner.

Phew, when I first saw your discussion I thought you meant Kiwi as in the bird. Glad to see you're talking about kiwifruit!

Sorry about that. I didn't think of adding the fruit word to it. I guess I was thinking when I go to the store to buy some it does says "kiwi" so I didn't think anyone would get confussed thinking I was talking about the bird. I don't anything about the bird, I just love this fruit, and wanted to help others that love it too.

No problem! We New Zealanders, we have to differentiate between the fruit and the bird, because the latter is a protected species. And then, to confuse things further, New Zealanders are called Kiwis, as well.
