The Original Tip. The original tip recommends completely wrapping an avocado with tinfoil, then placing it in a baking dish, and transferring it to a 200Â°F oven for 10 minutes, or until it softens. Avocados release ethylene gas, which ultimately promotes ripening.
A mature avocado ripens in three to eight days after it is picked. Florida avocados ripen best at temperatures of 60Â° to 75Â°F. At higher temperatures, avocados ripen unevenly and develop off-flavors. To ripen, keep avocados at room temperature. To speed ripening, place avocados in a brown paper bag, or use a fruit ripening bowl. Ripe avocados yield to gentle pressure. They can be stored in the bottom of the refrigerator for several days. The peel of most Florida avocado varieties stays green when ripe, but some may be red or purple.
