How Long Can You Keep Kiwi Fruit

Ripe kiwifruit will last five to ten days in refrigeration. Very firm kiwifruit can be kept in the refrigerator for up to one month.

How do you know if a kiwi has gone bad?

  1. Changed texture. If the fruit is super soft, mushy, or it starts to ooze, throw it out.
  2. Off smell. If it smells somewhat acidic instead of citrusy, get rid of it. Please note that this rarely happens.
  3. Dark spots. If only the skin is darkened, that’s usually okay, as you cut it out either way.

Do Kiwis last longer in the fridge or on the counter?

Kiwis ripen for about 3 to 5 days at room temperature or 1 to 2 days in a bag with ethylene-producing fruits. Ripe kiwi lasts a few days on the counter or up to about two weeks in the fridge. Cut-up kiwi keeps for 3 to 4 days in the fridge.
