Don't know if it's worth mentioning but if an avocado is hard when I wake up, and I know I'm trying to make Mexican food that night, I just shoot it in a paper bag with whatever fruit I've got laying by and it usually does seem to help. Or it's all in my head. People claim bananas and apples work best. I usually keep a bag of apples around if i can, so I use that.
It's some horseshit about trapping gases in the bag, but letting oxygen flow through... Idk
seems like witchcraft
When someone says something is witchcraft it just makes me want to practice it
Ethylene is a chemical that acts as a plant hormone, ripening fruits exposed to it. Apples however, seem to also produce/emit ethylene, hastening the ripening process. Putting ripe apples in a container with unripe fruit does in fact help ripen the rest of the fruit.
Yeah, I've been told the paper bag helps that it still gets some oxygen, making it "ripen" more and rot less
I think it might be more about humidity not being trapped with the fruits.
Bananas are the fruit you want for quick stuff bc they go shite quickly too; they help ripen tomatoes, though not in a day.
Apples are good in a sack of potatoes...
Apple and Bananas both emit the chemical apparently.
