Grabbed fruit that's not quite ripe? It's frustrating when store-bought produce needs more time to reach peak juiciness. As someone who's tested countless home hacks over years of managing a family orchard, I can vouch for this simple, effective method passed down through generations: the paper bag trick.

1. Grab a paper bag.
2. Place your fruit inside.
3. Fold the top to close it.
4. Wait 1-2 days.
Your fruits will ripen quickly and evenly. This works reliably on peaches, nectarines (like in the photo), bananas, cherries, apples, pears, plums, kiwis, plus tomatoes and avocados.
