Kiwis are a fruit that requires shade so that it retains the humidity. As it is a natural, non-intensive production we have the kiwis in the open air leaving a lot of foliage and the tree itself is protected from the heat.
The kiwifruit is a crop that needs support structures, also called supports, for its vegetative development. These structures are normally metallic, wires, as it is a shrub and needs to be supported by something to hold it up in the air. The fruit is harvested in mid-October and November in Valencia. The earliest ones, as they acquire the sugar earlier, are the yellow kiwis, which are the first ones we put on sale. It is recommended to harvest the fruit when it reaches 7 to 8 degrees Brix. These fruits are not edible immediately after harvesting, but only when they are slightly soft to the touch.
The kiwis are not edible immediately after harvesting.
For the conservation of kiwifruit, it needs a freezing point between -2ºC and -2.5ºC. A very prolonged conservation can lead to a wilting of the pulp of the fruit, therefore the relative humidity must be kept above 95%. The composition of the atmosphere is also taken into account in the preservation chambers. The kiwi is a fruit considered to be high in vitamin C, E and high in fibre. It is low in cholesterol. It has anti-carcinogenic effects, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, improves the immune system and increases the body’s defences.
It provides other essential nutrients for the body such as phosphate, magnesium and copper https://quieronaranjas.com/gb/kiwis
