Avocado ripening
If you're an avocado fan, you probably already know all the best ways to tell if your avocado is ripe. But if you like to eat the fruit, but when buying it you don't know how to choose, know that there are three ways to know if your avocado is ripe or not.
How to tell if your avocado is ripe:
- If the fruit has a dark green to almost black skin, it means that your avocado is good.
- Pay attention to the texture of the skin, ripe avocados tend to be rougher and more irregular.
- If the avocado sinks slightly after applying pressure, it's good.
Avocado Ripening Trick
Below we will show you a trick that will help you to make your avocado perfect. Your avocado will ripen in no time.
For this trick, you'll only need two items. To ripen the avocado faster, just place it in a paper bag along with a ripe banana, close the bag and let it rest for a few days on your kitchen counter.
This trick can be done without adding another fruit, but adding an extra fruit helps speed up the process. The trick is effective, as the paper bag traps the ethylene gas that is released during the natural ripening process of avocados. Thus, the avocado retains gas, which makes the fruit ripening process more effective and faster, unlike being kept in an open container outdoors.
In addition to bananas, you can also add another type of fruit, such as litter, as they will increase the production of ethylene gas which helps in the ripening of fruits. Test this trick at home when you have an avocado that is not ripe and have a perfect fruit for any recipe you want.
