how do I quickly ripen a banana? I bought some but they're still raw and I really want one.
To ripen a banana quickly for a snack, your best bet is to use the paper bag method, as heat-based hacks are better suited for baking. For Immediate Snacking (Best Texture): Place your bananas in a brown paper bag with a ripe apple, avocado, or tomato. These fruits release ethylene gas, which triggers ripening; the bag traps this gas to speed up the process, usually ripening them within 24 to 48 hours. Using a plastic bag is not recommended as it traps moisture and can lead to mold.For Baking (Breads/Muffins): If you need them "mushy" ripe right now for a recipe, you can use heat:Oven: Bake unpeeled bananas at 300°F (150°C) for 15–30 minutes until the skins are completely black.Microwave: Prick the unpeeled skin with a fork and microwave in 30-second intervals until soft. Important: Heated bananas will be very soft, warm, and slightly less sweet than naturally ripened ones, making them less ideal for eating "out of hand".
Theyre better not fully ripened. More refreshing and not overly sweet taste
