🛒 Choosing it

Ripe kiwi gives slightly when pressed.

🧊 Storing it

Counter: Ripen on the counter
Fridge: 1 to 2 days once ripe (longer when firm)
Freezer: 12 months, sliced

Keep the fridge at 40°F or below and the freezer at 0°F. Freezer times are for best quality; food kept frozen at 0°F stays safe. When in doubt, throw it out. Times from Rutgers Cooperative Extension.

Halve and scoop with a spoon, or peel and slice.
