How to pick a kiwifruit
1, look at the maturity
When buying kiwifruit, it is generally necessary to choose the overall relatively hard fruit, and it is best not to buy the kiwi fruit that becomes soft overall or partially soft, because the soft kiwi fruit is shelved at home for about two days, and it will be soft and rotten.
2, look at the appearance
Anyone with small bumps, soft spots, and damage cannot be bought. Because as long as there is a little damage, the wound will quickly become soft, and then become sour, and even ulcerate, so that the whole fruit will become soft and flavorful before it matures normally, which will seriously affect the edible quality of kiwifruit.
3, look at the hardness
Full-bodied, harmless and disease-free fruits are better, and the part near one end is the best to reveal a faint green color. The number of burrs in the epidermis varies from breed to breed. Small fruits are not inferior to large fruits in taste and nutrition, so there is no need to blindly pursue large fruits, and unusually large fruits should not be chosen.
Whether it is green heart, red heart or yellow heart kiwifruit, there is its own unique nutritional value, everyone can choose according to their own needs, in short, often eat kiwi fruit is not wrong ~ ~
