So it shouldn&#8217;t be rock hard or soft.<\/p>\n<p>Just be careful not to press too hard. To check for ripeness, a light pressure is enough to determine if it&#8217;s ready to eat.<\/p>\n<p>Look for kiwis with a pleasant, sweet flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Nutritionist and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesperson Theresa Gentile says ripe kiwis will have a light, sweet flavor.<\/p>\n<p>He also notes that a sour smell indicates that the kiwi is spoiled, so avoid buying or eating a kiwi that smells sour or fermented. If there&#8217;s no smell at all, it may need more time to ripen.<\/p>\n<p>Look for a slightly rough, slightly firm skin.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kalloo, one of the quickest ways to tell if a kiwi has passed ideal ripeness is to check its skin, which should be slightly rough and firm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA fresh kiwi should have a slightly rough, scaly, brown skin. If you notice deep pits, large spots or areas that look shriveled or sunken, it may be overripe,&#8221; Kalloo said.<\/p>\n<p>If the kiwi is too watery, gray or pale, has dark spots or visible mold, then it&#8217;s no longer safe to eat and should be thrown away.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin:30px 0\">\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#666\">Source: <strong>prizrenpost<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kiwi is a nutritious fruit that contains cholesterol-lowering fiber and immune-boosting vitamin C, among other nutrients that support a healthy diet.
