Different ways to ripen kiwis
The simplest and most natural way to ripen kiwis at home is to keep them at room temperature. This process can vary in time depending on the ambient temperature and the ripening point of the kiwis, although more or less they will finish maturing in 7-15 days.
Another way to speed up the ripening process is by placing the kiwis in a plastic bag along with some ripe fruit (bananas, pears, apples, etc …). The ripe fruit expels ethylene gas and this substance accelerates the ripening process of the kiwis, so in 2-3 days, we will have them ready to eat.
Finally, we can wrap our kiwis in a paper bag or newspaper. Covering the fruit with paper, we seek to increase its temperature, so maturing with this process can take between 7-10 days.
