How do I ripen a hard avocado

Quick Ripen: Avocado

Avocados are normally picked while they are still hard to prevent bruising while being transported.

To speed up the ripening process place the avocado in a
paper bag with a tomato. Leave the sealed bag in a warm place; the avocado should ripen in a day or two.

I HAVE DONE THIS USING AN APPLE BUT TAKES 2 TO 4 DAYS.
I WILL TRY THE TOMATO THIS TIME AND COMPARE RIPENING TIMES.

to ripen an avocado put a banana in a brown paper bag with one, the banana rleases ethylene gas that helps the avocado to ripen quicker, but a apple may work better, because the banana makes the avocado taste like one. I did a science project and putting an avocado in a green bag on top of the fridge rippened the quickest. also, i learned that putting an avocado in rice and flour helps to rippen to.
