Brilio.net - Avocados are most delicious when they are perfectly ripe. If they are still raw, the texture of the avocado flesh tends to be hard and slightly bitter. In addition to being eaten directly, ripe avocados are also ideal for fruit ice, bread toppings, salads, and more.
However, many people have difficulty determining the ripeness of avocados, so they often bring home unripe ones. Usually, raw avocados are marinated in rice or wrapped in tissue so they cook quickly. However, there is another trick that is equally effective for ripening avocados in 3 days. This trick was shared by TikTok user @madrenunito, who shows how to ripen avocados quickly and easily.
You only need two tools to practice this trick . There is a towel and a baking sheet. The method is, line the baking sheet with a towel. Then place all the raw avocados on the towel. Make sure the avocados are neatly arranged without any overlapping so they don't get damaged.

The avocados that have been placed on the baking sheet and towel are simply stored at room temperature. Well, not only that, each avocado can be sprinkled with a little clean water once a day to keep it moist.
Reported from theacolution.com.au, a humid place can speed up the ripening process of avocados naturally. However, make sure the area where the avocado is ripened is not too humid. Because if it is too humid, it will trigger the fruit to rot quickly.
"Day 3 (3rd day) some were ripe. Those that weren't ripe were continuously watered," said the owner of the TikTok account @madrenunito, quoted by BrilioFood on Saturday (4/1).

How to check the ripeness of an avocado without cutting it.
In addition to waiting for the avocado to ripen, you also need to know how to check its ripeness properly. The method is easy, just press the surface of the avocado gently with your finger. If it feels soft and slightly yielding, it is a sign that the avocado is perfectly ripe. The blackened skin color can also be an indicator, but it is not always accurate because some types of avocados remain green even though they are ripe. Most importantly, avoid pressing too hard because it can damage the flesh of the fruit inside.
Tips for storing ripe avocados so they don't turn black quickly.
Once the avocado is ripe, you may not finish it right away. To prevent the avocado flesh from turning black, you can store it with a few tricks. First, drip lime juice on the surface of the cut avocado flesh. Its citric acid content prevents oxidation that causes the avocado to turn black. Or, store the cut avocado with chopped shallots in a closed container in the refrigerator. The aroma of shallots will not affect the taste of the avocado, but it is effective in preventing discoloration for up to 2-3 days.
