How to Ripen Bananas Quickly

Filed under Bananas, How To | Comments (5)

Need a ripe banana but all you have are green ones?

Here's how to ripen them quickly:

Place bananas in a paper bag with an apple or a tomato.

Fold the bag closed.

The ethylene gas in the apple or tomato will cause the bananas to ripen in about 24 hours.

You can also place a banana in a paper bag with other fruits to ripen them.

I appreciate the tip on ripening bananas. I bought a bunch from Costco 2 days ago and they were green. Put them in a plastic bag and they are about halfway ready. Tomorrow they should be ready to eat...
