DIRECTIONS
To ripen an avocado quickly on the counter, place it in a bowl or paper bag with an apple or banana.
Bananas, kiwi, apples and avocados all produce ethene gas which when set next to a hard fruit, softens it. This natural gas breaks down the internal cell walls and converts starches to sugar, ripening the fruit naturally.
To help the avocado ripen in 1-2 days, place it in a paper bag with a banana or two. This method concentrates the gas surrounding the fruit but still allows the fruit to breathe. Avoid using plastic bags that stifle the fruit. This method can also be done with stone fruits, melons, etc..
