Avocados are a delicious and healthy fruit that can be used in a variety of dishes. However, it is often sold unripe in stores.

On social media, home life hacks expert Laura shared a new way to ripen avocados in just 10 minutes.

To do this, you need to take a solid avocado, wrap it in foil, put it in a preheated 180-degree oven, and turn on the fan.

Avocados give off ethylene gas, which helps ripen. Thanks to the foil wrapping, the fruit is practically surrounded by its ethylene gas, which should speed up the ripening process. Together, the heat of the oven and the ethylene gas will soften the fruit.

Laura tried this method and found that the avocados really ripened in just 10 minutes. She also noticed that the flavor of the avocado did not change.

You can also put an unripe avocado in a bag with bananas or apples. They will speed up the ripening of the avocado. However, this process will take a day or two.

This new life hack can be a real lifesaver for those who don't want to wait several days for an avocado to ripen.
