Then do the following.

• Place the fruits in a paper bag.

• Leave the top of the paper bag slightly open.

• Wait for a few days for the fruit to ripen. That’s it.

The technique behind this innovation is that most fruits release small quantities of ethylene gas.

Since you left the paper bag slightly open, the emitted ethylene gas doesn’t escape but in turn, gets reabsorbed by the fruits.

Continuous reabsorption of the ethylene gas initiates several physiological changes to the fruits.

The most notable one is accelerating the ripening process of the fruits.

Though it’s not easy to accurately estimate the rate of ripening of the fruits using this method.

What researchers have proven is that ripening via paper bags takes shorter time compared to natural maturation.

However, you need to ensure that the paper bag isn’t tightly closed because by doing that the fruits may instead rot.

How?

Tightly or thoroughly closed paper bag would leave no space for emission of other fruit emissions majorly moisture.

Apart from causing the rotting effect, the humidity also facilitates the growth of mold in the fruits. The same results will occur if you use plastic bags.
