Ripening Food
Have you brought home some fruits only to realize they are not ripe enough to eat? You can wait for them to ripen, but you can also speed the process up with a paper bag. Place the unripened food inside a paper bag and then fold it closed. The ethylene gas inside the bag will be trapped, resulting in the fruits maturing more quickly. Make sure to check the fruit fairly regularly since leaving it in the bag for too long might give you rotten fruit!

Checking Ripeness Of Avocados
It is quite difficult to tell when an avocado is ready to eat. You can take a guess and cut into an avocado that is potentially under-ripe – or you can check the stem to see how ripe the fruit is. If it is easy to pull the stem back and you see a green interior, the avocado is perfect for eating. If the stem is difficult to pull away, the avocado is not ripe yet. If you pull the stem back and you see the inside is brown, the fruit is almost dead.
