So there you have it: thereâs no magic technique for ripening avocados overnight â unfortunately - but the paper bag trick does speed the process. So your guacamole cravings will have to wait a full 2 days if you have a paper bag handy or 3 if you donât. The best strategy is to keep some handy.
To ripen, place the avocado(s) in a brown paper bag and store at room temperature for 2 to 5 days, away from direct sunlight. The addition of an apple or banana to the bag will hasten the ripening process. Do not store unripened fruit in the refrigerator. After being chilled, they will never ripen properly.
