Life hack: speed up the ripening of avocados It's one of biohackers' favorite foods. But chances are, when you buy it, the avocado hasn't ripened yet, and in nature, it only ripens when falling off the tree.
To speed up the ripening process, put the avocado along with the bananas in a small bag (like a biowaste bag) overnight. Bananas are treated with ethylene, a gas that acts as a plant hormone to speed up the ripening process.
This substance will also speed up the ripening of the avocado.
