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.
First off, Iâve found that storing avocados in the fridge â even while theyâre still whole â keeps them fresh for up to two weeks. If youâll be using only half at a time, leave the pit in the half of the avocado youâre not planning to use. If youâve scooped the avocado for guacamole, store the pit in the leftovers.
