Have you ever wondered what the best way is to ripen an avocado? In this video, Julia tries a number of different techniques from across the web to find out which ones work, which ones don't and which one is the best. If you like our videos it really helps us if you like/comment/subscribe.
Avocados never seem to be ripe when you need them. Today, I've got 5 really green avocados and am going to find out the fastest way to ripen them. First, I'm going to place an avocado in a windowsill. Second, I'm placing an avocado in a brown paper bag with an apple and banana, then placing it on a windowsill. Third, I'm placing an avocado in a paper bag with a 1/2 cup of flower, then on a windowsill. Fourth, I'm wrapping an avocado in tinfoil and heating it up in an oven. Fifth, I'm wrapping an avocado in tinfoil and heating it up with a hairdryer. Which one will work and which one will fail? Watch to find out.

groceries can't do it because they get avocado in very different conditions, mostly unripe. Why? Because it is necessary condition for transportation.

Avocados do not ripen even after staying on the tree for 18 months as long as they are attached to the tree stalk. I think that is the reason why its so difficult to find ripe avocados. All the ripe ones that we find are ripened during transportation or in stores

I have several avocado trees, this time of year we get a lot of them, but they take ages to ripe. What I found to work is rather simple, and quite fast. 1) Cut avocado in half ( 2 pieces). 2) Wrap each half in several layers of saran wrap, make sure it's water tight. 3) Put both (half) pieces into the microwave, microwave them for 2 minutes standard power. 4) Put the avocado, still wrapped, into a bowl of cold, even ice, water. Let sit, than enjoy! Takes less than 5 mins.

Wrap them in a plastic/paper bag, put that bag in a bowl, and put that bowl in a place that gets no sunlight, like a cupboard. Two nights, and mine went from green and hard to ripe and ready. Also, when you’re pressing an avocado to see whether it’s soft, press near the top so you’re not squishing the nice part
Thanks, I just leave mine on counter too. Works every time. :)
I baked my avocado and it turned out FINE! It was soft, the flavor was not so different from the natural riped one. (of course not as yummy as usual but i dont have high expectation :))) Try bake it at low heat, 100-105*C for 15-45 minute (after 15 minute, check it whether it'll need more time).
Red skin apple, avocado in brown paper bag always worked for me. 🥑🍎
Yass!! Thanks for telling the truth ❤. Especially the one that came from oven and it was not tasty that way lol. I’m definitely going use the paper bag method. 🎉

I know, right?!?! I put one avocado out on it's own and it would have been perfectly ripe in 5 days (they were REALLY green) but it was still lovely to eat after 4. It seemed like both methods with the paper bags helped shave a day off the ripening time, but it was no 'miracle hack' that's for sure. Someone has mentioned putting an avocado in a plastic bag, so maybe I'll give that a try next. Thanks for your comment :)

traditionally we ripen raw and hard fruits such as custard apple by keeping them in flour bucket or jar and take them out in 2 to 3 days. Never thought of trying avocado though, will definitely give it a shot.

I can usually find ripe avocados at the store but today all I found were green hard underripe ones. I’ve been searching for something that works less than a day. Everything (besides cooking them) takes way longer. On a hunch I left the avocados in the plastic bag you put them in for purchase at the store and set it outside in the sun. Twisted bag closed. It’s high 80s here today. After several hours they are nice and soft. Making guacamole tonight. Glad I tried my own theory.

God bless u for reals. I saw the tin foil and oven and he couldn't even scoop the avocado. Got mad. Could find again to call him a liar and found this. I needed peace. You explained it. Avocados don't ripen fast. Find them or just accept life lol. Or put flour and have a window and wish. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Another hack would be to wrap the avocado in a newspaper speeds up the process as well.
so basically there is no fast way to ripen an avacado

I just bought an avocado fruit for the first time in my life. I've had avocado shakes before in restaurants but never bought the fruit myself. So, this video has been quite helpful. Just FYI, I am wrapping mine in a paper bag and leaving it near the window and will report how it goes after 3-4 days (hopefully, I will remember to do so).

You should try to leave it around rice grains, it will ripe faster and taste much better. My mom and grandma has been doing that for years
That scientific method though >_
At 3:00 on the right you can see a smiley face on the avocado 😂
how long u cooked it in the oven? thanks!

Try modifying your flour method. Put a much larger amount of flour in a plastic container. Next, put the avocado in the flour, totally imbedding the avocado, totally surrounded by the flour. The totally hard avocado might totally ripen in 24 hours. Your paper bag method does have enough flour to totally surround the avocado with the flour.

The avocados from our tree take 5 to 6 days to ripen & they are large avocados unlike the small green ones you can buy in market & heavy in weight. Taste like butter almost with a bit of sweetness and taste like an avocado should, yummy! I wish you folks could try them, you would absolutely love them.

I will try to ripen by apple and banana. Do you thing hight temperature make 🥑 difficult to ripen??. Iam in Vietnam and I try many ways with 🥑 ( type Booth) but just sometimes success.
You can also put the same ratio of an unripe bananas 2 avocados in a plastic grocery bag the same ones you put your tomatoes or onions in, close it tightly and leave out on ur counter 4 a day and when you see the condensation in the clear grocery bag your avocado should be tender and your banana should be ripened as well. You should be able to squeeze the avocado to see if it has softened before opening the bag if not let sit another day! I hope it works for you like it has for me...
the one with the foil and putting it in the oven is really shocking to me that it actually worked!

gizmokitty100 it didn’t really but based on comments we cooked the avocado for too long.
I have been eating an avocado a day for years. I usually buy several at a time and set them out to ripen. I have come to realize I just need to plan on ripening them for up to five days. (Depending on their condition) Putting them in a dark cub bard or refrigerator seems to speed up the process a little bit.

When I place mine in the Fridge here on the West Coast (they’re CA Avocados thick skinned darker color) it slows down the ripening. I put one in my Vegetable Crisper Bin next to 2 Apples. I just did this (I got a whole bag of hard Avocados from Costco) and I will see what happens in the fridge in the bins no bags involved but placed between 2 apples. Experimenting is fun😄

Hello, You can easily ripen an avocado by putting it into uncooked rice for a few days or can use a brown paper bag to ripen in a few days should be perfect! I always let the avocados I pick from our tree ripen by itself on kitchen counter top with no direct sun and in about 3 to 4 days the avocados are rip. I like eating avocados on the firm side vs soft, hate soft avocados!

they said that you had let the avocado get cool after taking out of the oven but I will try it now cause i have to do sushi lol / but living in the islands it is common that leaving the avocado out on the table for 4 days it will get ripe- but i learned a lot through your experiment- thank you
So, how long did the test last? 24 hours? Several days?
Oven works but have to let it cool down!
