KIWI (PREORDER)

~10 lbs Kiwi aka "Kiwifruit", "Chinese Gooseberry", "Qi-Yi-Guo", "奇异果", "奇異果" Kiwi has fuzzy brown thin skin and an oval shape. The flesh is emerald green with tiny black seeds around the center core. Kiwi has a fresh, tangy-sweet taste. Kiwi is available year-round. Handling Tip Selection Kiwi gives slightly when you apply light pressure with your hand. Ripe kiwi skin is very hairy and without a green hue. Kiwi has a citrus aroma instead of the sweet aroma which means it is ready and not overripe. Avoid kiwi that is shriveled and bruised. Storage Kiwi should be stored at 32°F (0°C) with a relative humidity of ninety to ninety-five percent and with no mist. The typical shelf life is four to five months. Kiwi is extremely sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Kiwi should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to avoid unripe fruit that is excessively soft. Unripe kiwi produces a low level of ethylene. As the fruit ripens, ethylene production increases drastically. Kiwi is sensitive to chilling injury.
