To get your avocados ripe and ready with the paper bag trick, all it takes is tossing those firm avocados into a paper bag alongside an apple or a banana.

Apples and bananas are particularly generous producers of this gas, so when kept together in an enclosed space like a paper bag, they work their magic on surrounding fruits.
By 'trapping' the avocado in the bag with the fruit you're speeding up the ripening process of the avocado.".
