How to choose ripe kiwifruit?

Look at the appearance; Look at the color; By feeling; Smell the fragrance.

Different varieties of kiwifruit are slightly different in fur prickles, fruit heads and taste, so this paper only analyzes them from the maturity.

Look at the appearance

Pay attention to see if kiwi fruit has mechanical damage. If there are small pimples, soft spots and broken spots, you can't buy them.

As long as there is a little damage, the wound will quickly become soft, sour, and even fester, which will make kiwifruit soft and stale before normal maturity, seriously affecting the edible quality of kiwifruit.

Look at this color.

When choosing kiwifruit, we should choose kiwifruit with tender green knot and slightly darker skin color, because kiwifruit with tender green knot is more resistant to release, while kiwifruit with slightly darker skin color represents mature and sweet fruit.

If the skin is green or uneven, it means immature, while the skin is close to khaki, which means sunny and sweet flesh [1].

Feel with your hands

Only a certain part of soft kiwifruit rots; However, the whole fruit of fully mature kiwifruit is soft and easily broken if it is not put away properly. These two kinds of kiwifruit are not recommended to buy.

If it is hard in essence, it represents immaturity; However, if the fruit is soft or swollen and has an odor, it indicates that the kiwifruit is ripe or rotten, and these two fruits cannot be purchased [2].

It is best to choose a fruit with a slightly soft texture and consistent overall hardness, so that the maturity of the fruit is the best.

Smell the fragrance

Judging whether kiwifruit is ripe or not from the aroma of fruit;

Mature kiwifruit is accompanied by aroma; If the fruit has no fragrance and tastes sour, it is immature.
