Get Fruits Ripe More Quickly

How annoying is it when all you want is a delicious ripe banana, and the only bananas available at the grocery store are all green? This goes for other foods like avocado, peaches, and more. You don’t necessarily need to wait a week or more to get that delicious fruit.

Instead, open up your pantry and pull out a brown paper bag. Place the fruit inside the bag and store it in the bag. The concentrated ethylene gas in the paper bags helps your fruit to get ripe more quickly. And bonus- you don’t need to buy any extra materials, just use what you’ve been sending your kids lunch in.
