Top Secrets On How To Ripen Avocado

By Helen Robinson


Avocado lovers are spread all over the universe. The fruit is packed with healthy fats, vitamins and minerals and it also happens to have a divine taste. Then again, its carbs are low and therefore you could use it as desert frequently. For those who always look forward to crazy Friday nights, the guacamole fruit can be used to cure hangover. This is essentially because it happens to have impressive levels of potassium. There are a few proven secrets on how to ripen avocado.

The taste of unripe avocados is not always pleasing to the tongue. The fruit however has a divine taste when it is all ripe and squishy. Sadly, getting your produce to this state, especially when it is hard rock can be daunting. Even though good things come to those who wait, you are likely not to have the patience to wait for an entire week.

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.

For YouTube trained foodies, the tactics of baking the avocado is perhaps not a mystery. In this case, you should put your fruit under 200 degrees for about ten minutes. Make sure that by the time you place it in the oven, it is nicely wrapped to keep off damaging heat.

Choosing a method that works for you is important. There have been a lot of debates on how to defy nature and still enjoy the creamiest and tastiest avocado that is evenly ripe. In the end, nature prevails and it is always best to let your guacamole ripen at its own pace.
