Did you know you could make your
unripe avocado to be ripe and edible in just 10 minutes? Yes, you heard me
right, 10 minutes!
All you need is a baking sheet,
tinfoil, a microwave, and of course, your unripe avocado.
Wrap the whole fruit in tinfoil
and set it on the baking sheet. Put it in the oven at 200°F for ten minutes, or
until the avocado is soft (depending on how hard it is, it could take up to an
hour to soften). Remove it from the oven, then put your soft, ripe avocado
into the fridge until it cools.
Avocados produce ethylene gas,
which is typically released slowly, causing the fruit to ripen. But as the
avocado bakes in tinfoil, the gas surrounds it, putting the ripening process
into hyperdrive.
