So when you want the fruit to ripen faster, you can put the fruit in paper bags, plastic bags, cotton towels. These materials may promote rapid ripening of some fruits. Because essentially in all fruits there is ethylene gas and this gas will disperse the gas during the self-ripening process of the fruit. When we put the fruit in a paper bag, a plastic bag and then tie the mouth of the bag a little loose, it will prevent ethylene gas from escaping, making the fruit ripen faster.
One note when using this method is to be sure to keep the bag dry, out of direct sunlight, at room temperature for optimal results.

Cloth towels are a very easy to find item in our kitchen area. A cotton towel or linen cloth can also be used to speed up the ripening of the fruits. First, we need to make sure that the cloth towel is completely clean and soft. Then spread the towel on the table and place soft fruits like peaches, plums, or soft-skinned fruits on it one by one. Note that the stem of the fruit should be at the bottom and we should leave a certain amount of space between the fruits.

We can wash the fruits, let them dry and put them in the rice bin, they will ripen faster than if they were just left on the kitchen counter or in paper or plastic bags. The thing to keep in mind when doing this method is to bury the fruit deep in the rice, not on the surface of the rice.

If when using a paper or plastic bag, the fruit is still ripe, we can add a ripe apple or banana to the bag, because these are two fruits that release more ethylene than other fruits. So when placed with fruits that are still green, the amount of ethylene gas will diffuse in the bag and promote the ripening of the remaining fruits and help them ripen faster.

Since ancient times, our grandparents and grandparents have used this method to ripen fruits. Fruit when exposed to incense smoke, also known as incense, regularly for a certain period of time will promote the production of ethylene quickly.

But it is not always necessary to put the fruit on the altar to be called incubating with incense smoke. We can put those green fruits and in large boxes and pots and put incense bowls and cover them with lids. Wait for the incense to burn, then take it out, keep it in a container and just wait for it to ripen to enjoy. This method can be used when you want to ripen a large amount of fruit.
