At any time when we purchase an unripe avocado and must ripen it in a rush, we do what most individuals do… and place it in a brown paper bag.
Generally we put in a banana, which hastens the method – the reason is that contemporary fruit produces ethylene fuel. By ‘trapping’ the fuel throughout the bag, the speculation is that the fruit you are attempting to ripen will reabsorb the fuel – and due to this fact ripen extra rapidly.
Nevertheless, Belinda from Malaysia (who impressed this current put up a couple of complement known as lingzhi ) has despatched us one other informative message a couple of utterly completely different – and seemingly very efficient – methodology of ripening fruit.

Hello Christine – I’ve right here an excellent methodology to ripen avocados and every other forms of fruits. This methodology is utilized by us Chinese language since an extended, very long time in the past (I’m 60 and I realized of this methodology from my mom and he or she from her mom and so forth).
Simply bury them in rice in a coated container. They’ll ripen between 2 – 4 days relying on the diploma of ripeness of the fruits.
I purchased 2 avocados that had just a few brown specks on the pores and skin however they have been nonetheless not ripe. The entire fruits ripened superbly inside 2 days after I put them within the rice.
I had tried utilizing the paper bag with a banana inside methodology on 4 avocados. 2 fruits took per week to ripen and there have been nonetheless some unripe spots within the fruits. The opposite 2 fruits solely ripened 2 days later and there have been additionally some unripe spots. I needed to change the banana 3 occasions inside that interval 🙂
Nicely, that’s an concept we’ve by no means heard of earlier than and one thing we’ll positively be placing into observe when the necessity subsequent arises! Thanks once more, Belinda – we respect your taking the time to share your ideas and it’s fascinating to learn the way sure issues are finished elsewhere!
