Brilio.net - There are many types of fruit that can be consumed daily to improve health, one of which is avocado. Reporting from healthline.com, avocados have fiber, vitamins C and E, folic acid, and so on. A number of nutrients in avocado are known to improve digestion, make the heart healthy, reduce the risk of diabetes, and others.
Avocados are different from fruit in general, because this fruit does not have a strong sweet taste, but tends to be savory. That's why many people prefer to eat avocados that have been made into juice, fruit ice, sandwich filling, and much more. Because many people like it, avocados are sold in supermarkets, traditional markets, or fruit shops on the side of the road.
However, when buying avocados, many people still make mistakes when choosing them, so that the avocados they buy are still unripe and hard. If consumed directly, raw avocado is still not delicious, because it tastes quite bitter. If you are one of those who often accidentally buy unripe avocados, don't worry because you can ripen them yourself at home.
One popular trick for ripening avocados is to simmer them in a pile of rice. However, if you don't want to use rice, there are still other tricks, such as in the netizen's upload on the TikTok account @riskaaadesilvia, here. After all, if avocados are ripened using this trick, the results will be soft and the color of the flesh will remain bright, you know.
So, there are two tools needed to ripen an avocado in the style of a netizen named Riska, namely a stick and a towel. First, pierce the top of the avocado with a stick, right in the middle of the circle where the stem of the tree was. If you don't have a stick, you can also use a toothpick as an alternative.
"The goal (piercing the avocado) is so that it is perfectly ripe without anything black or rotten inside," added the owner of the TikTok account @riskaaadesilvia, quoted by BrilioFood on Tuesday (6/2).

Next, prepare a towel or any type of thick cloth. The towel can be spread over a basket, box, or any container in the house. Place the avocado that has been pierced with a stick on a towel, then wrap it until the fruit is completely covered.
This towel will play a role in keeping the avocado moist, so it can ripen quickly. Leave the avocado in the towel for several days until it ripens.

Riska did not show the condition of the fruit after it had been ripened for several days. However, he explained, avocados ripened using this trick are usually ready to consume after 2 to 3 days. So, are you interested in trying it at home?
