Ripening an Avocado

I read on the Internet that placing an unripe avacado in a bag of flour will ripen it over night. Yesterday, I was desperate. I needed 3 ripened by morning. I took a large paper bag and placed all 3 in the bag, then dumped approximately 1/2 bag of flour over them. I rolled up the bag as best I could and left it on the counter. This morning all 3 were perfectly ripe. I can't believe it! They were rock hard yesterday.

i have also tried burying the avocado in flour, it works, but i think the paper bag + banana method is the best, particularly in colder, drier climates.

YOU CAN PUT IT IN A BROWN PAPER BAG TO EXPEDITE THE RIPENING PROCESS.""

Never put them in the rewfrigerator when you bring them home. If you want to eat them right away, buy the ones that are soft to the touch, and to eat them later buy the hard ones, keep them in a brown bag, they whould be ready in 3 days, I leave mine in the fruit bowl, next to the fruits. (we have tropical weather) and keep feeling them till they are soft.

I often buy gifts for my mother from misterspear.com. Martha Stewart brought this company to the public's attention, and their January offering is avocadoes. They recommend ripening avocados by putting them in a brown paper bag with an apple. The gasses that the apple produces cause the avocado to ripen more quickly.

To ripen avocados, leave them closed in a paper bag at room temperature for a few days.

This is always how I do it. Put the unripe avocado(s) in a small paper bag (like a paper lunch bag) with a moderately ripe banana. Put the bag in a warm location, such as the top of your fridge for a day or two. The ethylene gas given off the banana will quickly ripen the avocado. I find this works for other fruit as well.
