General Produce
Kiwifruit

Common Packs:
Tray packs
Volume-fill containers
Receiving Inspecting:
Kiwifruit should be plump with no wrinkles or signs of exterior damage. Unripe fruit will be firm to the touch; ripe fruit will give to gentle pressure.
Storage Handling:
Short-term storage recommendation (7 days or less)
- 32-36° F/0-2° C
- 90-98% relative humidity
Shelf-Life:
7 to 10 days.
Troubleshooting:
Rough handling may cause bruised or broken skin; keep handling to a minimum.
Softening, shriveling, and mold are signs of spoilage due to exposure to ethylene gas; keep away from ethylene-producing fruits and ripening rooms.
Usage Ideas:
- Top baked meringue puffs with pastry cream, chopped kiwifruit, minced strawberries, and finely chopped pistachios.
- Roll strips of kiwifruit and Swiss cheese in sliced turkey and ham; secure rolls with toothpicks and serve as appetizers.
