Quick Tips On How To Ripen Avocado

By Helen Robinson


Avocados are loved by nearly everyone across the globe. They are rich in not only healthy fats, but also vitamins and minerals. The best part is that they are also low in carbs and hence they make the best desert. While most people will simply want to enjoy the fruit, others will use it to cure hangovers. They happen to be high in potassium and hence they could easily get you back on your feet after a wild Friday at the party. Here are a few quick tips on how to ripen avocado.

Unripe avocados are inedible. Not only are they rock hard, but they also happen not to have the best of tastes. You are likely to enjoy your fruit more when it is all squishy and creamy. If you have just your rock-hard guacamole and you really need to have a bite of it, there are a few strategies that you could use to save you from the pain of having to wait for weeks.

To begin with, you need to know that humans are very creative and there are all sorts of ways that could help you out with your little predicament. Even so, there are tactics that have proven to work better than others. Here are a few that could turn your hard-rock avocado into a fruit that you could enjoy in a few days, or perhaps with your next meal.

One of the methods that have been used for ages is putting the guacamole in a brown paper bag. This works by trapping the ethylene gas, which is a ripening agent. The trapped gas assists in speeding up the rate of ripening and hence your fruit should be ready to eat in not more than three days.

Another good way to go about this is by burying your fruit in flour. This essentially traps the ethylene gas, allowing the ripening process to speed up. The flour would also play a crucial role in soaking up the lingering moisture. In turn, this would protect the fruit from external bruises. After you have added flour to the avocado, you need to wait for 2-3 days.

If you have your hard guacamole and you have to eat it now, then you may consider the terrible idea of heating it in the microwave. In about 45 seconds, your fruit will be all ripe, but smelling strange and badly bruised. Even so, it will be easy to scoop and it will not taste as bad as many may imagine.

Baking an avocado is another tactic that has gained a lot of following over the years. In this case, you need to take the time to carefully foil up your fruit. From this point, heat up the oven to 200 degrees and allow the guacamole to bake for at least ten minutes. The results are again a strange smelling but ripe avocado.

You need to decide on the method that works best for you. Think about the taste that would be achieved and make sure that your attempts of defying nature would not backfire. All in all, the best guacamole is for those who can wait for it to ripen naturally.
