    A good tip to speed up your fruit to rippen is to buy a bananas and place it next to the fruit. Also put the fuit near to the window, so that it is exposed the sun light. I was told this will do it years ago, and Ive was amazed when we did a test.



    The same rule applies to putting soft (or to b soft) fruits near oranges, oranges let off a gas which can ripen other fruit.
  • It's strange - ask anyone the colour of a banana and they will say "yellow".

    Go to the supermarket and they are all as green as grass - when you try to "home ripen" them - they go straight from green to black and miss out the yellow stage :(:(
