how to quickly ripen bananas<\/a>. For ripe bananas in just a day or two, unhook the bananas from each other, place them in a brown paper bag, and fold it shut. Speed this up even further by tossing in an apple, pear, orange or peach. These fruits emit ethylene gas, which ramp up the ripening process.<\/p>\nFor a ripe banana in about a minute, poke holes all over an unpeeled banana with a fork or toothpick. Microwave it in 30-second bursts until the banana has reached the desired softness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
