Avocados Ripe Overnight!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2024
- Avocados are a beautiful thing! They can be eaten right in the skin, or easily scooped out and the flesh can then be mashed, cubed, or creamed. Avocado can be the main ingredient, or a topping, such as on Tortilla Soup.
Also known by some as an “alligator pear” (due to its skin being a cobbly, rough and green texture), it’s popular worldwide. Grown in tropical or temperate climates, this smooth and buttery fruit (yes, it’s a fruit!) can be round, egg or pear-shaped. It is picked unripe and ripens later. This allows for processing, shipping, and processing with minimal damage to the fruit. This “ripen later” characteristic is beneficial to you and me as well. This allows us to buy fruit that can be used several days later.
But, what happens when all you can find is unripe fruit and you need to get the fruit to ripen rapidly? In this episode, we’ll show you how to get a unripe and hard avocado to go to soft, ripe, and flavorful in 24 hours, using a common cooking ingredient that you’ve likely got on hand now!
This method is very dependable and uses the avocado’s own ethylene gas to speed ripening, increase flavor and end up with a wonderful, buttery texture - in just 24 hours!
Whatever you’re making with your avocados, it’s gonna be great! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

The flour does not trap the ethylene gas, but rather it takes out more of the moisture in the fruit which in turn increases the dry point matter (to water) ratio. This technique is simulating the avocados “late season” timing of the ripening.
This is the MOST
under-rated video. No smoke and mirrored fabricated lies. Just facts with evidence.
Outstanding! Thank you!!
Aw garsh, thanks for being a part of our viewer family! - DFJ
This is literally the only place on the internet with legit answer to me wanting to get avocado ripe
Right? EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT!
Unless you asked me. Oops I’m not on the internet.
Wow, so helpful!! Thanks for these videos. I am a new cook so this is great information.
So great! Subscribed! Best video I’ve found with the best information!!! Thank you! 🥑 😁
What a great job you do! Thanks for a spontaneous feel, good information, and super-useful. Thank you!
Thanks Don Cely. We appreciate great viewers like you! Keep watching and commenting! Best, DFJ
Wasn't sure if this would work because of some negative comments but it did. Put three hard avocados in flour for 12 hours because I didn't have 24, and they came out nice and ripe and ready for guacamole
Awesome. I would bet that putting multiple avocados in the flour together helped them ripen faster. Each Avocado was emitting its own ethylene gas to make it a lot more "gassey!!" Best, Dirt Farmer Maggie
I grew up running through 30 acres of avocados in the San Diego outback. Buy them hard as golf balls, keep the in the refrigerator until the day before you want them then put them in a brown paper bag with an apple on the kitchen counter (you can use the same apple for weeks as it dries). Much neater than the flour box. A butterknife works better than the one he used to dice in the skin, then turn the skin ‘inside out’ to turn the fruit loose.
Harley Barber, thanks for all this wonderful information. Sounds like you had a great childhood. We're planning a follow up video regarding this topic (We've had so many comments and questions!!) may we refer to your tips on it and give you credit in the video? Let me know. You can write directly at jay@dirtfarmerjay.com. Looking forward to hearing from you! Dirt Farmer Maggie.
Now when I find them usually green and hard pear shaped (sometimes green and very soft) .. what color color should they be when found ripe??
@@debbiebalnaves4842 There are different varieties, Hass, Fuerte, etc, some are green, others almost black. The shapes differ from almost round to more pear shaped. There is some difference in taste and texture, as there is among apple varieties. Color is not an indicator of ripeness, touch is best.
That is so awesome! Thank you so much for this tip!!
Ahhhhhmazing! I will never not do this. Thank you!
Thank you! I couldn't find ripe decent size Avocados for a dish I was making!
It worked very well!
Wonderful, Christine! Glad to have been of help. Best, DFJ
08/30/20 = Solution for me was: Do NOT put avocados in the refrigerator first before trying this method. I noticed that when I followed the demonstration EXACTLY how it was done, the results are Fantastic and Soft. .... but... if I make the mistake of putting the avocados IN my refrigerator when i come home from the store... for some reason COLD avocados do not ripen so well in flour but room temperature hard avocados like directly from a store OR from one's counter top do soften when placed DEEP in the flour container. yeh!!!! Thank you Dirt Farmer Jay for making this WONDERFUL VIDEO on how to soften avocados yeh!!!
Shay #Be Kind, thanks for taking time to write - and for the great insight. I'm really glad this technique is working well for you - it's a "go-to" method around here. Thanks for being a part of our viewer family! Best Regards, DFJ
@@DirtFarmerJay But don't you waste a lot of flour doing that?
WOW. I wish I watched this 24 hours ago!!
Sameee
We are waiting for the sequel to this great video. And I will be trying out this method, I hate waiting days for avocados to ripen.
Thank you so much. Now I can buy avocados more often
You are adorable!
Thanks for the tips! 😊
Great video.I'll Try it. Thank you. Greetings from Tuscany, Italy
Holy Toledo!!! I am going to try this. I grew up in California and have NEVER heard of this method. Thank you!
Did it work?
Thank you great info..😁🤗💕
WOW! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! This is going to be so useful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting Jacqueline Didur. Best to you, Dirt Farmer Maggie
you can use rice also instead of flour
Either way, looks like a big waste of flour or rice. Though I guess if you cook all that rice shortly thereafter, you're good to go. However, the flour may not be safe to cook, if it's been reused over and over gain, to ripen avocados.
Great Video! Eating Fuerte avocados my whole life and never knew this method!
I have steamed Avocados in a covered pan with water. Steamed one Avocado for 10mins on high. Let it set in bowl for another 5 minutes. Avocado cut very easy and the seed popped out. But the taste was a bit strange because it was hot. So I added salt and pepper and I mixed it with ranch salad dressing. And I did this on a little cart in a box store for a demo I had no choice but to figure out how I could serve rock hard avocados to our customers. They seem to like it but you have to add spices to it in order to have it even taste halfway decent. I cooked 15 avocados in about five hours of working and completed my demo and sold a bunch of avocados to our customers.
Kathryn, thanks for writing. Wow, you are one innovative person, figuring out a solution on the fly. Indeed, any type of approach that heats the flesh of the avocado seems to alter the taste and that needs to overcome with other ingredients, as you did. Thanks for sharing your expertise - and creativity! Best, DFJ
Wow thank you , What if I opened a few avocados and found out they are still green how do I ripe the opened ones?
This was a great tip ... Thank you ❤️
You are so welcome! Best, DFJ
Wow, great video!!!!
Thanks! Really helpful! 👍
Great review! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Best to you, DFJ
Excellent tip, thank you.
You are so welcome Frank Leal. Best too you. Dirt Farmer Maggie
Really useful, Thanks.
Thank you so much!! That was so very helpful!! M putting them all in flour now.
If the flour doesn't work, try putting them in a paper bag with an apple. Close the bag up tight and check for ripening each day. Best, DFJ
I stopped buy avocados because so many went bad before we used them. Now I have a plan! Thanks so much.
Catherine, thanks for watching and writing! Let us know how it turns out for you. Best, DFJ
Any luck?
Awesome thank you. I have two trees full of Avos. Finally, a method that will work.
Thanks for watching and commenting Cellplus Cellplus. You can also put them in a paper bag and close up tight to ripen. Best, Dirt Farmer Maggie.
You have two trees full of avocados.How great is that?
Help full information for me.
Thank you
Excellent tip !!
Glad it was helpful! At the end of the day, the best way to ripen quickly is in flour or inside a paper lunch bag with an apple. Close the bag tightly. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best to you, Dirt Farmer Maggie.
Can't wait to try this, woohoo! Thankyou so much
Have fun!
Thank you for this video ❤️

Thank you.
I just passed your truck!! That’s so cool I got to see you in your truck!
Layrnn, thanks for checking us out and watching our video. Glad you found our channel and saw us on the road as well! Best, DFJ
Will try now. Previously I would forget to retrieve hard avocados in a paper bag or sitting on the counter. Hope I dn forget avocados sitting in flour. Setting alarm on cell. Also telling two friends to call me to remind me - Avocados in the flour!!
Update-after 24 hours submerged in all purpose flour in a container covered with aluminum foil, towel and a plate both avocados hard as rocks. Recovered.
You know…I’m wondering if it’s the fact that dirt farmer used a plastic container with a lid that is the key to keeping the ethylene gas from escaping, thereby getting the 24 hour results?🤷🏼♀️
Thank you! I just started with my keto diet and it is very difficult to find riped avocad in the store! I will try it tonight.
did it work?
Did it work?
Dahlia Fernandez how it goes
So did it work for you ?
Thank you so much 😊
I now picked 7. Im goin to do that now !!!
Thank you sooooo much.
Will this work for ripening mangos?
I Never knew tihs tick...it really works! Thank you Farmer Jay
Glad to help! Best, DFJ

Thank you
Fantastic! Thanks.
Thanks for watching and commenting Heather Dawn Harris. Watch for a new video using several different ripening techniques suggested by our viewership. We'll see which one does it best. Take care, Dirt Farmer Maggie
I am doing this right now! I have to make a Advocado Toast recipe tomorrow! Thanks
Sounds great! Let us know how it turns out for you. Best, DFJ
Mmmmmm! Break out the chips!
Great tip, thanks!
Thanks for writing Ken! Best, DFM
Thank you, I will try.
Thanks for watching and commenting Vita Khan. I wanted to let you know that the best result we got from our ripening experiment was to put the avocado into a paper bag with an apple and close the bag up tight. That one ripened the fastest. Best, Dirt Farmer Maggie
Thank you!
Thank you! God Bless.
God bless you back Jerold McCarty, Keep watching and commenting! Best, DFJ
Thanx. Im really gona do that .Thanx fr.South Africa
esme maicker, thanks for watching and commenting. I've always wanted to go to South Africa! Best to you and your family, Dirt Farmer Maggie.
@@DirtFarmerJay hi. You most welcome. Keep up the good work. God bless you and your family. REGARDS. SOUTH AFRICA
Never thought I would buy flour again. ❤️
RIGHT! I'm on keto now I have to go buy some flower! hahahaha
You can also put them into a paper bag and close it up tightly. It will take a little longer than the flour but works. Best, Dirt Farmer Maggie
@@DirtFarmerJay Saran Wrap?
😄
@@maritimedragon Or maybe a ziploc bag?
I usually put unripe avocado on uncooked rice to ripen it, it works well for me
Vistalica Halim how long? Again....how long does it take to ripen?
@@rock-n-rollfoodie i think probably 48-24 hours
Awesome thanks
Avocados you buy at a supermarket go through a packing house that keeps them cold for months sometimes. When they get an order, they take out the boxes and put them in the ethylene gas ripening room for 24 hours. They get delivered to the market ready to go ripe in a day or two. If they don't, something went wrong with the process. When I pick fresh avocados from my trees, they sit in the paper bag for about 10 days before they get ripe from their own natural ethylene. Once you have several different days worth of fruit in the bag, the almost ripe supply more ethylene and they each ripen a bit faster.
When they first turn black, Hass are very nearly ripe. The fresh ones are green.
Thanks for all of that outstanding information!! Best. DFJ
Thank you. I was just going to put them under my grow light. I guess that’s why we don’t get waxed avocados then. 🥑
Thank you very much ❤
You're welcome!
Nice trick!
Clayton Holton, Thanks for watching and commenting. Best to you, DFJ
We do put it similarly in a bag of rice and we do the same for mangoes, custard apple
Prakriti, this is brilliant! Thanks for taking time to write! Best, DFJ
Nice Information brother
Thanks. If you need to ripen them more quickly, add a whole apple to the bag. It will also emit the gas needed ripen the avocado. Dirt Farmer Maggie
Thanks maggy and dirt farmer jay .. 🇦🇺
Awesome my only question is will this add some carbohidrate value to avocado cause that would actually be really bad for me? Im guessing it wont but still no harm in asking.
Thank you for this video I love Avocado but I stop buying them because when I get a bag of them I would end up tossing 2or 3 of them out because they would go bad I am definitely going to try this
As soon as the avos get soft, put them in the fridge. It will stop the avos from ripening further and stay fresh in fridge for few weeks. Also if you use half an avo and want to keep the other half for another time, you can spread some oil (sunflower, canola or olive oil) on the half you not using, and pop it in the fridge. Or pop the half avo into a small container with a half a small onion, close container and leave in fridge. Stays fresh. I prefer the oil method 😊
You can also keep avocados from ripening so quickly by putting them in the fridge hard.
Thanks for the tip but wondering if it left any off flavours in the flour ?
Thanks for watching and commenting leonard bramhill. No change in flavour with the flour at all. Best to you, Dirt Farmer Maggie
Thankyou Maggie and Jay.
You are welcome Winifred Jones. By the way, the conclusion of the ripening experiment was that the FASTEST avocado to ripen was in a closed up paper bag (like a lunch bag) alongside a ripe apple. The gas from both fruits in the bag really ripened the avocado well. Best, DFM
I just bought 2 avocados which are very hard and just watched this video so I will go ahead and try out this method. But, I wonder, if flour makes blocking wall around avocado then only flour can do that?? what about covering avocado with foil or cling wrap or placing in water?? Just wondering. I will experiment .
Hi Teresa. You can also put them in a paper bag and close up well. It will take a little longer though. The idea is to trap the ethylene gas so it will ripen the avocado faster. Best, Dirt Farmer Maggie
Would it be just as effective to wrap them in paper? And does this method effect the taste of the flour?
Putting it in a paper bag and closing the bag up tight also works. It may be a little slower but it works. Best, DFJ
Would clingfilm/saranwrap work as well?
We are planning another video with suggestions about how to ripen fruits from our viewer family. Watch for it in the coming weeks. Thanks for watching and commenting. Basically anything you can do to hold the ethylene gas emitted by the fruit near the outside of the fruit will help it ripen faster.
Mom's are the best for good tricks
Good morning, thanks for this very useful tip - I will try it today; However, I wonder what's happening to the flour - Can we use it normally after this process? Thank you.
Did it work?
Yes you can! We make sure the avocado is washed and dried before doing this method. Best, DFJ
hi dirt farmer, its sharyn again. Well, I had my avocado in the flour for 6 days. It was still under ripe. I ate it any way. Maybe I have to put 2 avocados in the container or avocados and a apple. I will try again. I swear, I am going to make this work somehow . Until we type again.
me too....it didnt work
Did you use an air tight container?
@@mrrichards6007 I did and My ovacados all went bad..... I've recently had another good harvest and the best way to get them ripe and nice is to be patient and place them at a cool and dry place.
I got 4 avocados they’re hard as rock !!! And I’m so excited to try this technique 🥹🫶🏻
Let us know how it turns out. Be sure the avocados are room temp when you put them in the flour. Best, DFJ
This feature of Avocados Ripe Overnight via the Dirt Farmer Jay TH-cam collaboration with Dirt Farmer Maggie technique definitely has me curious to try the process this weekend especially since this idea might help me ripen one of my favorite foods the avocado within 2 days andor sooner even with purchasing before the ripening process.
OMG!!!! SHUT UP!!! NO WAY!!! THIS IS BRILLIANT!!! THANK YOU!!!
Glad we could help. Another tip is to put the avocado into a paper bag (like a lunch bag) along with an apple. Close it up tight. The gas emitted from the apple AND the avocado will ripen it quickly. Best, Dirt Farmer Maggie
i just bought some unriped avocados by mistake lol i’m stupid & gonna try this tip today i hope it works😩
Looks like finding this video was timely for you!! Let us know how it works. It's never failed for us. Best to you, Dirt Farmer Maggie.
Do you wash the avocado before putting into the flour?
And after as well?
Depends on if you're going to eat the skin
Can I use self rise flour or a mixture, that’s all I have in my pantry
Yes you can! You can also expedite the ripening by putting the avocado into a paper bag with an apple and close it tight. The gas from the apple AND the avocado will ripen the avocado fast as well.
Here another test, try sealing one in an plastic sandwich bag and remove as much air as possible.
Hey Larry, great to get a message from you! We are going to try the sandwich bag and a few other suggestions that viewers have sent in and make a sequel video. The whole idea is to trap the gas in as high a concentration as possible. Keep watching my friend! Take care. DF Maggie.
@@DirtFarmerJay I was thinking the same thing. I just put two avocado in a sandwich bag.
Infusing plastics into your avocado by putting it in plastic bag to ripen. Search a recent research paper showing all the illnesses , cancer and sterility from so much plastic use.
@@pattijesinoski1958 We need to share that research with French chefs who are recommending making pouched eggs in plastic ziplock bags!
What if anything can you say about the flour being reused? Can I dedicate a container of flour for continued use to ripen my avocados?
Thanks for watching and commenting Harry Pressman. Sure, you can dedicate a container of flour. But remember, this gas is a naturally occuring gas with nearly every fruit that can be ripened after harvesting. We used the flour after ripening avocados in it - no side affects. Best to you, Dirt Farmer Maggie.
I don’t know if I have different type of avocado, but mine have been in flour for 4 days and still not ripe.
Try putting it in a paper bag along with an apple. Both the apple and avocado emit the same gas that encourages ripening. Let me know if this helps. Best, Dirt Farmer Maggie
Thanks 😘😘😘😁😂😘😊😘😁
what do you do with flower after you took avocado? It's a lot of flower just wasted in my opinion. Thanks
Thanks for watching and commenting Etel Kheyfits. We used the flour with no problems. Best, DFJ
NO MORE WAITING FOR AVOCADOS TO GET RIPE! This is how i do them hard ones! To make them softer! Put them into the micro wave 2 min. If its not soft. Put back another 2 min. I got tried of every day squeezing them roll them around and trying to bruise them.. Hey it worked! The guacamole was darker green >> but hey it worked
It was hard to open my avocado The seed was also pink. Do you have any idea why that is?
Totally not clickbait tried it works very good I did it twice now both times perfect don't try the microwave one and the oven one I wouldn't suggest it cuz basically you're just cooking it LOL this man has the trick
Thanks for watching and for your nice comment. We appreciate viewers like you! Best to you. DFJ
Hello D.F. Jay. Cool idea. You know the trapped ethylene gas produced by the fruit is causing it to ripen quickly. An idea hit me. I wonder if equal results can be achieved using a washed plastic kitty litter container that is filled with play sand instead of using a tub filled with flour? It would be reusable for a long time and not attract any insects as flour can.
Good question.
Apparently the flour also absorbs moisture that may rot the fruit more quickly, which is why you're told to also ripen them in paper bags, NOT plastic.
I'm assuming this will also work with rice? For ethnical reasons, my household does not have large amounts of flour, but large amounts of rice.
I suspect that it will work, but probably as not as quickly, simply because of all the spaces between the rice kernels that would allow the ripening gasses to move away from the fruit. Give it a shot and let us know how it works! Best, DFJ
WOWWWW!
Glad you like it, Stephanie!
Thanks how many times can you reuse the flour and how long will the flour last ? Great video Thanks
until u have a flour in the tab u can use no need to throw the flour
Ray, we make sure the avocado is clean, and then we just use this method in our canister of flour that is used for regular baking and such. Hope that helps! Best, DFJ
What if you have unripe avocados already cut up into sections, how do you soften
I don't have an answer for that! I've only ripened avocados before they were cut. Sorry!
Will we throw the used flour? Or we will use it in other recipes?
Thanks for watching and commenting. No need to throw the flour away. Ethylene gas is a naturally occuring gas that is omited by many fruits during ripening. It is not harmful. Best, Dirt Farmer Maggie.
thank for the tip, if the flour still eatable ??? , can I wrap the avocado with string wrap to trap the gas ???
Thanks for watching and commenting Yewhiang Goh. You can also put them into a paper bag and close up tight. You want to trap the gas and let it gather around the fruit to ripen it. Best, DFJ
