When selecting kiwifruits, hold them between your thumb and forefinger and gently apply pressure; the sweetest fruits will yield gently to pressure. Avoid kiwis that are very soft, shriveled, or have bruised or damp spots. Size is not related to the fruit's quality, so choose a kiwifruit based on your personal preference or recipe requirements.

For the most antioxidants, eat fully ripened kiwifruit. If kiwifruits do not yield when you gently apply pressure with your thumb and forefinger, they have not yet reached the peak of their sweetness. You can leave them to ripen for a few days to a week at room temperature, away from exposure to sunlight or heat. To help speed their ripening process, place kiwifruits in a paper bag with an apple, banana, or pear. Store ripe kiwifruits either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
