Avocados Ripe Overnight!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 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!

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
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 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! 🥑 😁
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.
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
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.
That is so awesome! Thank you so much for this tip!!
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
You are adorable!
Thanks for the tips! 😊
Ahhhhhmazing! I will never not do this. Thank you!
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?
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?
Great video.I'll Try it. Thank you. Greetings from Tuscany, Italy
Thank you so much. Now I can buy avocados more often
WOW! Thank you so much!
Thank you great info..😁🤗💕
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
Great Video! Eating Fuerte avocados my whole life and never knew this method!
Wow, great video!!!!
Help full information for me.
Thank you
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
Thanks! Really helpful! 👍
Excellent tip, thank you.
You are so welcome Frank Leal. Best too you. Dirt Farmer Maggie
This was a great tip ... Thank you ❤️
You are so welcome! Best, DFJ
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
Great review! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Best to you, 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?
Thank you !!!
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.
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.
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?
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for this video ❤️
You are so welcome! Keep watching and commenting! Best, Dirt Farmer Maggie
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.
Great tip! Thank You
You are so welcome! Glad we could be of help. 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?
Wow thanks for the Avocado ripening tip.
Now l know what to do.
Thanks for watching and commenting Great Nation. Glad we helped. Best, DFJ

Great advice
Thanks for watching and commeting Abu Ebrahim. Best, DFJ
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 ?
Awesomeness!!!
Will this work for ripening mangos?
I now picked 7. Im goin to do that now !!!
I Never knew tihs tick...it really works! Thank you Farmer Jay
Glad to help! Best, DFJ
Thank you sooooo much.
Thank you
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
Thank you! God Bless.
God bless you back Jerold McCarty, Keep watching and commenting! 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?🤷🏼♀️
Mmmmmm! Break out the chips!
Great tip, thanks!
Thanks for writing Ken! Best, DFM
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
Thank you for your response. The avocados are still in the flour...as of this afternoon, they have begun to soften a bit. However, the ones in the bag - with a banana - are softer. They were all room temp...it’s warm here in SoCal. Hoping they’ll all be ready for Church brunch tomorrow. Thank you for your channel & advice
Hey SoCalGal, how did the avocados do today for the church brunch? After completing our ripening experiment I decided that I will do the bag and apple or banana going forward. The flour gets messy. Before Covid, our church used to have pastries and coffee etc. on Sundays. We still have coffee (can't do without that!) but no pastries/finger foods. Best to you and your family, Dirt Farmer Maggie
The avos were perfect for yesterday’s church brunch. We’ve had church in our home since this craziness started & I feed everyone breakfast! Yesterday, 30 people. I was making Mexican for Cinco de Mayo; so you see, I was pretty desperate 😊
Thank you for your church story & interest in my avocado saga
PLEASE LET IT RIPE NATURALLY LIKE GOD INTENDED TO....
Sounds like that is the best way for you to ripen them bruce Hur. Thanks for watching and commenting. Best, DFJ
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?
Awesome thanks
Genius!
Thanks maggy and dirt farmer jay .. 🇦🇺
Thank you very much ❤
You're welcome!
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 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.
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
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
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
This feature of Avocados Ripe Overnight via the Dirt Farmer Jay RUclips 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.
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
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
Nice trick!
Clayton Holton, Thanks for watching and commenting. Best to you, 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
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
We’re driving behind a car with this channel on the bumper, decided to look it up. Now we’re here.
Awesome SLC Cody. We recently logo'd our truck. Should have done it years ago! Thanks for watching!! DFJ
That's a wonderful story. Glad I'm here too!!
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.
Thanks 😘😘😘😁😂😘😊😘😁
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!
And you can use the flour to make avocado toast.
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.
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.
Do you wash the avocado before putting into the flour?
And after as well?
Depends on if you're going to eat the skin
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
Rice also works
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
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
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
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.
Thanks for the tip! Does the flour effect on the avocados wear off after ripening avocados using that method with the same flour over months? Do you have to replace the flour periodically? Is the flour damaged, so you can’t use the flour for anything else?
If the whole point in ripening the avocados in 24 hours by sealing in the gas, would sealing in the gas with plastic wrap do the same thing? I’m not sure why the gas wouldn’t leave the avocados and be absorbed into the flour, just like the gas would leave the avocados and go into the air in the control avocado.
I buy avocados that are hard as a rock, and often let them sit around too long, waiting for them to ripen. Then I forgot about the avocados and they go bad, and I have to throw them away.
What happens if you leave the avocados in the flour for 48 hours, 72 hours, or longer? How long can the avocados be in the flour before they go bad?
Thanks for writing Dave. Ethylene gas is a naturally occurring gas in all fruits and vegetables. I don't know of any effect it has on the flour. It's an interesting idea to seal them in plastic wrap - You'd just have to make sure you got all the air out. Regarding how long to leave them in flour, the ones in the video were already starting to puncture just by touching them (after 25 hours) when DFJ was trying to retrieve them out of the flour. I'm pretty certain that another day and they would have just been black mush. Best to you and thanks for watching. DF Maggie
Mom's are the best for good tricks
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.
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.
Great idea! Now if I could just find out how to keep avocados from ripening too fast....
If you put them in the frig it will slow the ripening. It's a catch 22 situation to have them ripen at just the perfect time! Best to you, Dirt Farmer Maggie
@@DirtFarmerJay Haha you actually answered! Legend.
Can you reuse the flour? Great tip ❤️
Thanks for watching and commenting Suzan Lopez. Yes, the flour is fine to use. Ethylene gas is a naturally occuring gas that helps fruit ripen. If will not affect the flour. Best to you, Dirt Farmer Maggie.
@@DirtFarmerJay can we wash the avacado before putting it i side flour container, as I feel store bought avacado would contain some dirt which is unhealthy for flour if we are gonna consume it later.
@@vritikakalra4547 maybe just keep a special container of flour for ripening avocados. Then no worries about washing avocados or eating flour.
@@sylviashaw71 Nice idea.
However, I started using Apple to ripen avacado and it works really good for me.
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
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.
