The Science Behind It:
This method relies on the avocado’s natural ethylene gas production, which is crucial for ripening. Wrapping the avocado in foil keeps this gas close to the fruit, speeding up the ripening process. The result? A perfectly ripe avocado that’s both firm and creamy.
So, the next time you’re in a pinch for a ripe avocado, whether for toast, salad, or any other dish, remember this quick and effective method. Just be careful when handling the hot avocado, and always use oven mitts or a kitchen towel. Enjoy your instantly ripe avocado and happy feasting!
