Instructions

  1. The easiest way to ripen avocados is to set it on the counter for a few days to let It ripen naturally. Greener avocados can last 5-7 days on the counter all on their own before becoming perfect with darker skin avocados turning ripe quicker.
  2. To ripen an avocado quickly on the counter, place it in a bowl or paper bag next to an apple or banana.
  3. To make the avocado ripen in 1-2 days, place it in a paper bag with a banana or two. Avoid using plastic bags that stifle the fruit.

Notes

  • If you can't eat the avocado once it's ripe, store it in the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process. Uncut avocados should last 1-3 days in the refrigerator.
