Kiwis can be stored at room temperature until they ripen. To speed up ripening, place them in a paper bag with an apple or banana. Once ripe, store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to maintain freshness. You can also freeze peeled and sliced kiwis for longer storage; spread them out on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring to a freezer bag to prevent sticking.
