Here are some ways to ripen avocados shared by nutritionist Tanya Mehra (India).

1. Keep warm

Place the avocado in a bowl and leave it in a warm place. This is a natural way to ripen an avocado. It may take a few days for the avocado to fully ripen.

2. Use paper bags

Avocados produce ethylene gas, a plant hormone that speeds up the ripening process in many fruits. According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Plant Science, surrounding avocados with ethylene gas helps speed up the ripening process.

3. Store avocado with banana

According to research published in the International Journal of Food Science , bananas are a diapause fruit. That is, they continue to ripen after they are removed from the tree. The ethylene gas that bananas emit can speed up the ripening process of avocados. So, leaving unripe avocados with bananas will help them ripen faster.

4. Put in rice bin

Place the avocado in a container of rice, making sure it is completely covered with rice. This will help create a lot of ethylene gas, which will ripen the avocado in about two to three days.

5. Use cotton fabric

Place the cheesecloth on a flat surface and place the avocado on top, then cover the avocado with another clean cheesecloth. This will also help the avocado ripen faster.
