What to do to make a hard avocado ripen overnight: a tricky life hack

If you want to speed up the ripening process of an avocado, you can do it quickly and naturally.

It is very important not to bake it in the oven or microwave, despite the popularity of this life hack on the Internet. Cooking an unripe avocado will not accelerate its ripening, but will instead lead to rubbery, spoiled fruit, OBOZ.UA writes.

Avocados do not ripen with strong heat, as this method only cooks the outer layer of the fruit, resulting in the fruit becoming soft on the outside and the core remaining unripe.

However, there is a simple trick that will work. All you need is a paper bag.

Since avocados naturally release a ripening agent called ethylene gas, isolating them in a paper bag speeds up the process considerably. You can get soft and tasty fruit overnight.

If you don't have tissue paper, you can also put the avocado in any enclosed space. For example, a small kitchen cabinet or drawer will do.
