]]> We’ve all been there—eagerly anticipating the moment when we slice into a perfectly ripe avocado, only to be met with disappointment by its unyielding, rock-hard flesh. Fear not, avocado enthusiasts! We’re here to spill the beans on how to ripen those stubborn avocados in record time.

The Paper Bag Trick

First things first, gather your rock-hard avocado and a brown paper bag. Place the avocado inside the bag and fold the top over to seal it. The magic lies in the ethylene gas that the avocado emits, which speeds up the ripening process. The paper bag acts as a little cocoon, trapping the gas and creating a warm, enclosed environment. Leave your avocado-filled bag on the countertop and let nature work its magic.

Add Some Company

If you’re feeling extra adventurous, you can speed up the ripening process even further by introducing some friendly companions to the avocado party. Adding other fruits that release ethylene gas can help accelerate the ripening process. A ripe banana or apple placed alongside the avocado in the paper bag can work wonders.

The Power of Heat

If you’re in a real hurry to enjoy that avocado goodness, a little bit of heat can work wonders. Place your paper bag with the avocado near a warm spot in your kitchen, like a sunny windowsill or next to the oven. The gentle warmth will coax the avocado into ripening more quickly. Just make sure not to expose it to excessive heat, as this can cause it to ripen unevenly or even spoil.

The Ripeness Check

Now comes the exciting part – checking if your avocado has reached that perfect, buttery texture. Gently press the avocado with your thumb to see if it yields to slight pressure. If it feels slightly soft and gives a little, congratulations, you’ve done it! Your once rock-hard avocado is now ready to be transformed into guacamole, spread on toast, or added to your favorite salads and sandwiches.

]]> Who doesn’t love avocados? Between guacamole and chips to avocado toast, we can’t get enough of them. But making sure they’re just ripe enough to mash, but not too ripe where they’re mushy and brown, requires a bit of patience and work. If you don’t have time to wait for avocados to ripen naturally, here are three ways to make it happen faster.

In a Paper Bag

To make avocados ripen quicker, put them in a paper bag like you would ripen bananas. These fruits produce ethylene gas which causes them to soften after they’re harvested. By placing avocados in a bag, you’re trapping the gas which speeds up the ripening process. Even still, this will take three to four days, but keep an eye on them every day.

Pair With Other Fruit

Another paper bag trick is to place avocados in them with other fruits that produce ethylene gas like apples and bananas. The avocados should be ripe within one to two days.

In a Bowl of Rice

Submerge the avocados in a bowl of uncooked rice to trap the ethylene gas and help them ripen quicker. This will trap moisture and the avocados will ripen with a few days.
