However, the best way to get your fruit to ripen is to put it in a brown paper bag and fold it over.
The fruit 'exhales' ethene gas as it ripens. When you seal it in a paper bag, the ethene gets trapped, and accelerates the ripening process. References :
Bananas lose a minimal amount of weight as they ripen, but buying riper bananas won’t save you much money – if any. Grocery stores usually sell bananas that are all around the same stage of ripeness, so the margin of gain is even less. References :
