Kiwifruit, a common and very tasty fruit, its soft and sweet taste attracts countless people.

Many people know that kiwifruit is delicious, but do not know what specific effects kiwifruit has.

Here I tell you about the efficacy of kiwifruit.

1.Lower cholesterol

The best choice is to consume its outer skin.

Kiwi fruit contains fiber, a third of the pectin, especially the skin and pulp contact part.

Pectin can reduce the concentration of cholesterol in the blood and prevent cardiovascular diseases.

2.Promote digestion

3.Lowering blood fat

It can inhibit the deposition of cholesterol in the inner wall of arteries to prevent atherosclerosis, improve the function of heart muscle and prevent heart disease.

4.Prevent cancer and inhibit tumor

Eating barbecue food can increase the incidence of cancer, because barbecue food down the body will nitrification reaction, carcinogenic substances.

Kiwifruit is rich in vitamin C as an antioxidant, can effectively inhibit this nitrification reaction, to prevent cancer.

How can I quickly ripen kiwifruit if I have just bought them hard?

There are several main methods.

1. Seal ripening

A new method of rapid ripening kiwifruit in large quantities.

First of all, the hard fruit of kiwifruit is packed into cardboard boxes to become fruit boxes.

Then the fruit boxes are put into indoor stacks and the indoor doors and windows are closed to keep warm.

Then the indoor humidity is controlled at 80-90% and the temperature is controlled at 20-30°C.

The fruit boxes are opened every 2-3 days to release the carbon dioxide inside the fruit boxes and allow oxygen to enter the fruit boxes.

At the same time, the stacks are turned over and the fruit boxes inside the stacks are stacked in The hard fruit of kiwifruit can be fully ripened in 5-8 days to reach the best edible flavor.

2. Ripening kiwifruit with toothpicks

It is to buy kiwifruit first cleaned with water, and then use a clean toothpick to make a few small holes in the top of the kiwifruit

Put it in a plastic bag and tie it up and leave it for a few days, which will speed up the ripening process.

You can also use a knife to make a few small cuts on the outside of the kiwifruit, which will likewise serve to ripen the kiwifruit.

This is because the small cuts allow the kiwifruit to produce ethylene, which speeds up ripening.

Also small cuts cause life to move and this will also speed up the ripening of kiwis.

Although this method is good and the gaseous ethylene generated by the fruit in the process of ripening with a toothpick is not harmful, some microorganisms will grow near the 'wound' and these microorganisms tend to make the fruit spoil.

So it is not recommended that you use this method to ripen the fruit.

3. Put kiwis together with other fruits that are already ripe, such as bananas and tomatoes.

These ripe fruits give off the natural ripening gas "ethylene", and by placing the kiwi with these ripe fruits, this natural ripening gas infects the kiwi, thus promoting it to become softer and sweeter.
