3. Rice or Flour Bowl (1–2 days)

Bury your avocado in a bowl of uncooked rice or flour. Like the paper bag trick, it traps ethylene gas and ripens the fruit faster.

Bonus: This method also protects the avocado from bruising.

Need to Slow It Down? Store in the Fridge

Once your avocado is perfectly ripe, but you’re not quite ready to eat it, toss it in the fridge. This slows the ripening process and buys you another 2–3 days of perfect texture.

Tip: If you’ve already cut it, store it with the pit and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to prevent browning.

How to Tell If It’s Perfectly Ripe

Give it a gentle squeeze—ripe avocados should yield slightly to pressure but not feel mushy. The skin should be darker (but not black), and if the stem pops off easily to reveal green underneath, it’s ready to go.

Final Thoughts

No more sad, rock-hard avocados or surprise overripe disappointments! Whether you’re craving toast, tacos, or a fresh bowl of guacamole, these ripening hacks ensure you’ll always have the perfect avocado—right when you need it.
