How to make kiwi fruit soft

Kiwi is a treasure among fruits. It not only tastes good but also has very good nutritional value. When we usually buy kiwis, we may find that the kiwis are relatively hard when we get them home. If we eat them at this time, the taste will be very bad, so we can put them for a while and wait until the kiwis become slightly soft before eating them. If you want the kiwis to soften quickly, first of all, the storage temperature can be slightly higher, so that they will ripen faster. In addition, you can also put apples and kiwis together in a sealed bag, which can increase the speed of kiwi ripening.

How to soften kiwi fruit

Method 1: Increase the ambient temperature for fruit placement. The higher the temperature of the kiwifruit storage environment, the more active the fruit metabolism is and the faster it ripens.

Method 2: Increase ethylene concentration to promote fruit ripening. Put fresh kiwi fruits into a plastic bag, and then mix the cut pears or apples into the bag. Then seal the bag for 3 to 5 days and they can be eaten after ripening. Generally, one cut pear or apple is placed for every kilogram of kiwifruit. The more pears or apples you put in, the better the ripening effect. If the ripened fruit has become soft, you can peel it and eat it. If the skin cannot be peeled, the skin can be cut and eaten.

Is it better to eat kiwi fruit hard or soft?

Hard kiwifruit has high nutritional value. From the perspective of food nutritional value, kiwi fruit has a high vitamin C content when it is hard. Eating it at this time can intake a large amount of vitamin C, but the taste is not very good.

Soft kiwifruit causes less damage. Kiwifruit contains a lot of plant acid, especially hard and unripe kiwifruit, which tastes extremely sour. Eating this kind of kiwifruit will irritate the gastrointestinal tract and damage gastrointestinal function. People with poor gastrointestinal function are recommended to eat soft kiwifruit, which contains a certain amount of sugar that can slow down the stimulation of plant acid.

What happens if you eat too much kiwi fruit?

1. Spleen and stomach deficiency and coldness

Kiwi fruit is cold in nature, so eating too much will aggravate the coldness inside the body and cause spleen and stomach deficiency, which may lead to indigestion symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. It also has a certain impact on women's menstruation, causing symptoms such as less menstrual blood, dark blood, and aggravated dysmenorrhea.

2. Gastrointestinal inflammation

Kiwi fruit contains a large amount of plant acid, which will irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa after eating. Eating too much will lead to the secretion of a large amount of gastric acid, aggravating gastrointestinal irritation, and severely cause acute and chronic gastrointestinal eye inflammation, and even gastrointestinal bleeding.
