Nothing is more frustrating than wanting to eat your delicious heritage avocado - and its not ripe yet! So here is a test we are doing at the Diva's office (we did this Friday, 7/29/11). To ripen avocados faster - you put them in a nice, thick paper bag (we send you a great one with your order). To make it go even faster - you can put in a fruit that produces ethylene, like a tomatoes, bananas or apples.
So we were wondering what works BEST -- green bananas? Ripe bananas? or apples? We put 3 avocados into each of 3 bags -
(a) with ripe bananas
(b) with green bananas
(c) with apples
(a) with ripe bananas
(b) with green bananas
(c) with apples
We'll open them up on Tuesday and see which ones are the ripest and let ya'll know.
BTW - are you ever worried if you order a box of avocados from the Diva that they will go to waste? No way - we ship them right off the tree - so they are very hard (don't get damaged in shipment that way). Then we send you detailed instructions as well as a "Diva ripening bag" - so you can stagger the avocados to ripen over a long period of time.
Order some today! They are beautiful, full of minerals, protein and DELICIOUS!
I'm looking forward to the results- it took a long time for our lambs you sent to ripen even in a bag with a banana- the timing worked out though as my brother and family went on a one week cruise right after they received your avos and when they returned they were ripe.

ReplyDeleteGood to know! Lamb avocados are VERY dense and quite hard when they come off the tree -- I am finding they are taking a week to 10 days to ripen on the counter.
