Kiwifruit is a kind of fruit with rich nutritional value, which has multiple effects and functions, and is known as the king of fruit. Because it is not only sweet and sour, but also has high nutritional value. It is a kind of fruit favored by many people. But sometimes the kiwi fruit is hard and tastes very green and astringent. How can kiwi fruit ripen?
[five ripening methods of kiwifruit]
1. Ripening of banana peel
This method I believe you heard more, it is to use bananas or banana peel ripening kiwifruit. So as long as the bananas and kiwifruit are packed in plastic bags together, and then the bags are tied up for a few days. Pay attention to the middle of the bag can release carbon dioxide, so as not to cover bad bananas. Or the banana peel and kiwi fruit directly into the bag together, can also help effectively ripen.
2. Apple ripening
Put other fruits together to ripen kiwifruit. Besides bananas, apples can also achieve the same effect. So with the apple ripening kiwifruit only need to apple and kiwifruit together in a day, generally a week can ripen kiwifruit. This is because Apple can release a large amount of ethylene after ripening, which accelerates the respiration of kiwifruit. The organic acids and starch contained in kiwifruit accelerate the conversion into soluble sugar, and finally mature.
3. Ripening of fruit box
We usually buy fruit packed in cartons. Don't throw away the boxes at this time. Ripening kiwifruit can also be used effectively. If you want to ripen the bought kiwi fruit, you can put it into a highly sealed fruit box. It should be noted that in order to avoid decay, you should open the box every two days to release carbon dioxide. Let oxygen into the fruit box, also can help kiwi fruit breathing, accelerate ripening.
4. Rice bag ripening
The storage temperature of kiwifruit has a great influence on its ripening speed. Then the raw kiwi fruit into the rice bag, can help ripen. We all know that the tightness of rice bags is very good. In addition, rice bags are not ventilated places, and the environment temperature is high, which is suitable for shortening the ripening period of kiwifruit and accelerating ripening. In addition, rice bags are not ventilated, which can help ethylene play a better role and accelerate ripening of kiwifruit.
5. Toothpick ripening
In addition to the above methods, we can also use toothpicks commonly used in daily life. Then, to ripen kiwifruit with toothpick, you need to prick a few small holes in the surface of kiwifruit with toothpick, and then put the kiwifruit into a plastic bag, tie the bag tightly, and then place it for a few days. This is because the small holes made with toothpicks can help kiwifruit release ethylene to accelerate its ripening. However, it should be noted that this method may cause the deterioration of kiwifruit by microorganisms and is not recommended.
