If your avocado is rock-hard and you need it ripe for tomorrow night…
Stress no more, Sisters!
I finally found the trick of how to ripen an avocado in only 24 hours!
Just place your avocado in a brown bag with either an apple or banana. Place it in your pantry or a dark area.
The plant hormone ethylene, which occurs naturally in fruits like apples and bananas, triggers the ripening process. When combined in a brown paper bag, the ethylene gases are trapped alongside the avocado and cause the fruits to ripen faster together.
