Experts have revealed a trick that will help you turn unripe plums into juicy and aromatic fruits at home.
The trick works not only with plums, but also with pears, avocados and many other fruits.
Even Roskachestvo specialists recommend this method. The trick works thanks to ethylene, a gas that is often used for a process called “ripening” (bringing fruits to consumer ripeness).
Bananas go through a long journey before they reach the shelves. The fruit is picked green to prevent it from rotting before it reaches the market.
At the final stage, before being sent to the counter, bananas are specially fumigated with ethylene to stimulate the ripening process. Under natural conditions, the fruits themselves emit this gas.
Ethylene triggers the destruction of chlorophyll, which allows fruits and vegetables to ripen at the same time.
Therefore, at home, it is enough to place unripe plums or pears in a plastic bag and add an overripe apple or banana to them. These fruits will naturally stimulate the ripening of unripe fruits.
