Undamaged, at least a week. Cut, opened or bruised, somewhat less, possibly two or three days.

I just ate a kiwi from the fridge that is three months old. Still firm texture, sweet flavor though outside looked somewhat shriveled. I put them in the fridge when they were not quite ripe and am amazed they have lasted so long.

Asked by Wiki User

Yes Alas, I adore kiwi fruit but they give me terrible diarrhea. I do not digest the seeds either, apparently, and thus they are visible in my faeces. For you to ask this question I assume you are similarly afflicted.

Surprisingly, it's not because of the acidity of the fruit. Fresh pineapple contains enzymes that are commonly extracted and used in meat tenderizers, and the effect of the enzyme on your tongue causes the prickling.

Why the kiwi is endangered?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not all species of kiwi are endangered, but the brown kiwi is one that is endangered. The biggest threat to the brown kiwi comes from dogs, feral cats and other imported pets including the stoat, of all things. New Zealand has no native predators. Being a small, flightless bird, its defenses are extremely limited. Many kiwis are also killed every year by unregistered Pig-Hunting dogs (registratrion requires Kiwi Aversion training) and being killed while crossing roads/highways.

Loss of habitat due to deforestation and destruction of large tracts of native bush is also endangering the brown kiwi. Not only does this threaten its food sources, but deforestation means the kiwi has fewer places to hide from its many predators. Prior to Europeans coming to New Zealand, the kiwi enjoyed a healthy population.

How fattening is kiwi fruit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's really dependent on how much of it you eat. Kiwi, as all fruits has a fair bit of sugar in it. Sugar means calories, and too many calories - no matter where they're from - can make you gain weight.

It's far less fattening than candy and chocolate though.

What kind of vitamins does kiwi have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

  • Yes, kiwis have vitamin k
  • Kiwifruit consistently rank at the top of fruit in nutrition density models which tell us exactly how nutritious food is. That means you get more vitamins and minerals per gram, and per calorie, of kiwifruit than most other fruit.
  • Kiwi fruit is high in vitamin K. You may know also that garlic is a natural blood thinner, but you may not know that kiwi fruit also acts as a natural blood thinner to help prevent blood clots. Kiwi fruit is considered a food that is moderately high in vitamin K. A 1-cup serving contains 72.5 mcg of vitamin K, providing 90 percent of your daily value. When taking Coumadin, it is recommended that you limit your intake of moderately high vitamin K foods to less than three servings a day.
  • While oranges have a deserved reputation as valuable sources of vitamin C, kiwifruit can also lay a claim on the vitamin C crown. In fact there is twice as much vitamin C in kiwifruit as there are in oranges. You only need one kiwifruit each day to get your recommended daily intake of vitamin C.
  • A kiwifruit has about the same level of potassium as a banana - but only half the calories. This makes kiwifruit an excellent low-sodium option to access potassium, which is potentially beneficial for heart health and in the maintenance of blood pressure.
