We've all bought unripe bananas, kiwis, or pears that sit uneatable for days. Luckily, our grandmothers passed down a simple, proven trick to speed up ripening using just a bag and an apple.

1. Grab a paper or plastic bag.
2. Poke a few small holes for air circulation.
3. Add the fruits you want to ripen.
4. Place a very ripe apple inside.
5. Seal the bag loosely.
Your fruits will ripen perfectly in no time. Simple, effective, and chemical-free!
Ripe apples naturally release ethylene gas, a plant hormone that accelerates ripening in nearby fruits. This method has been trusted for generations by home cooks and gardeners alike.
