Experts remind that kiwifruit can only be eaten after it is cooked.

Regular consumption is likely to break down the protein of tongue and oral mucosa, causing discomfort. This is due to the large amount of protease in immature kiwifruit.
When the purchased kiwifruit is hard and fresh and inedible, the following methods can be adopted to accelerate ripening:

2. Increase ethylene concentration and promote fruit ripening.
Put the fresh kiwi fruit into a plastic bag, mix the cut pears or apples with the bag, and then seal the bag mouth for 3-5 days, then it can be cooked and eaten. Generally, put a cut pear or apple per kilogram of kiwi fruit. The more pears or apples you put, the better the ripening effect. After ripening, if the fruit has become soft, it can be peeled and eaten. It can be used for cutting skin which can not be peeled.
3. Put some toothpicks in kiwifruit.
Two days in this way, it will be much softer. According to experts, the main reason for this is that the 'cut' poked by toothpick will promote the fruit to produce ethylene and accelerate its maturity.
