How to Do You Ripen Avocados Naturally?

If your avocados aren’t ripe yet, a natural way to ripen them is to put them in a paper bag with an apple or banana. Fold over the the top of the bag and let it sit. You’ll see a noticeable difference in 24 hours.

There have been too many times when I’ve bought my avocados at the last minute and this trick has saved the day!
