2. How to accelerate ripening

To see if it is ripe, look at the color of the peel. Bright green means it is not ripe, black color means it is ripe, and dark green means it is ripe. You can also look at the degree of softness and hardness. If it is hard when pinched, it means it is raw, and if it is dented when pressed, it means it is cooked. In addition, if it is too raw, it can be eaten after ripening. When ripening, it can be placed in a cool and ventilated place, and it can be eaten after it changes color and becomes soft. It can also be placed together with bananas or apples to ripen faster.

1. How to judge

To judge whether an avocado is fully ripe, you can look at the skin color. If it is bright green, it means it is not yet ripe and is not tasty at all. It will have a very astringent taste and the pulp will be very hard. If the color of the peel has turned black to dark green, it means it is fully ripe and the taste will be better at this time. You can also look at the softness and hardness. If it is hard when pinched, it means it is not mature. The ones that are close to mature are slightly hard. When it is fully mature, it will dent when pressed with your hands, and the taste is best at this time. If it's too soft, it means it's not fresh, so don't buy it.

2. How to ripen

1. The most common way to ripen avocado is to place it directly in a ventilated place. After about 3-4 days, the color will turn dark and it will become soft to the touch. However, the color change of some varieties is not obvious. You can judge from the pedicle. If it is easily pulled out, it means it is mature.

2. Ripe bananas or apples can also be used to urge Ripe. Place it in a paper bag, top with unripe avocados, and it will be ready to eat in two or three days. Because both bananas and apples release ethylene, which has the effect of accelerating ripening.
