Brilio.net - Avocado is a fruit that is loved by many people because of its soft texture and high nutritional content. However, when buying avocados at the market or supermarket, often the fruit sold is still raw and hard. This is normal, because avocados are usually picked when they are not fully ripe to prevent damage during the shipping and storage process.
But as a result, buyers need to ripen them at home so that the fruit reaches perfect ripeness before it can be enjoyed. Ripening avocados yourself can be a challenge for some people. This ripening process takes quite a long time, usually between 3 to 5 days, depending on the condition of the fruit and the environment in which it is stored.
During the ripening period, avocados need to be placed in a cool, dark place, such as in a paper bag to speed up the process. In addition, some people also use skewers to ripen avocados. Well, this skewer will be inserted into the tip of the avocado that is to be ripened . The reason is, this skewer will help ripen the avocado so that it is perfectly soft. Unfortunately, this method also takes a long time.
Well, if you want to be faster, you can use the method from Instagram user @siti_setyowati_. In one of the videos she uploaded, she once tried to incubate avocados with several methods . However, there are only two effective methods that make avocados perfectly ripe, soft, and not bitter in just 2 days.
As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @siti_setyowati_ on Sunday (8/12), the method used is to soak it in rice and wrap the avocado using tissue. This first method tends to be easier because it does not require special tools. So, you only need to prepare rice that is placed in a tightly closed container.

Well, how to incubate it, you just need to put the avocado into the pile of rice. Make sure all parts of the avocado are perfectly covered in rice. After that, let it sit for 2 days.

The avocado that had been left for two days felt quite soft. Instagram user @siti_setyowati_ immediately cut it into two parts. Who would have thought, the inside of this avocado was also perfectly ripe. There was not even a rotten or black part.

Meanwhile, in the second method, he uses tissue and tape. So the method is, just cut the top of the avocado. After that, cover it with tissue that has been folded into four parts. Then, stick the tissue and avocado with clear tape. If so, just put it at room temperature.
This second method is equally effective in making avocados perfectly ripe in just two days. After being incubated, the fruit becomes soft and the skin is yellowish. When cut, the inside of the fruit is also smooth and there are no rotten or blackened parts. When eaten, this fruit will taste sweeter and not bitter, you know.
